ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Brandon Lloyd can’t blame fantasy football owners for ignoring him on draft day, even now that he’s been snatched up on waivers in probably every league out there.
After all, he was basically banished from the Denver Broncos’ game-day roster last year, when he was deactivated for the first 14 weeks before finishing the year with eight catches.
A year before that, Lloyd caught just 26 balls in Chicago, which was one more reception that he had in Washington the two previous seasons combined.
“I think it was just a numbers game last year. Nobody got hurt and I never got an opportunity to play,” Lloyd said.
With Brandon Marshall now in Miami, Lloyd has emerged as one of the league’s biggest surprises with 25 receptions for 454 yards – just two yards shy of NFL leader Reggie Wayne.
