Sam Ehlinger starred in Denver's preseason finale against New Orleans, finishing 22-for-31 for 198 yards, adding six rushes for 25 yards and a TD with an INT. Sean Payton called the outing "fantastic" and highlighted his feet, moxie and leadership. Bo Nix praised his teammate, and Jarrett Stidham’s solid week kept Denver’s QB competition lively. The Broncos are likely to carry two QBs on the active roster, leaving Ehlinger as a high-upside No. 3 or prime practice-squad option.

Two-QB depth remains the theme for fantasy managers. Ehlinger’s rushing ability and leadership give him late-round appeal in superflex formats if he lands a clear path to opportunities, but his immediate upside hinges on roster moves and potential injuries in Denver's quarterback room.
