Patrick Surtain

Broncos rookie CB Patrick Surtain II suffered a chest injury in Week 4 against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

The 21-year-old has been playing well through the first four games of his career. Surtain was eventually ruled out due to injury, and we'll monitor the practice reports on him throughout the week. His absence would certainly hurt the Broncos' defense.

Ian Rapoport reports that CB Patrick Surtain II has agreed to terms for his rookie deal with the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

Surtain II was the Broncos first-round selection and is locked up for the next four-years. He is extremely talented and will boost the Broncos secondary as a result. The Broncos have one of the best secondaries in the NFL and will be a pain for opposing wide receivers to deal with.

The Denver Broncos have selected CB Patrick Surtain II with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

One pick after fellow corner Jaycee Horn went to Carolina, the Broncos take their own No. 1 CB in Surtain. The Alabama product was an All American in 2020, consistently using his wingspan to shadow opposing wideouts all over the field. Surtain can line up both in press and off-coverage, and he has experience on both the left and right sides of the field. The Broncos chose not to take Justin Fields with this selection, instead opting to boost their secondary.
