Quarterback Rank: #23
Overall: #100
Orton was the Bears primary starter at quarterback all season, but didn't really grab hold of the job. He had some great moments early on, but wasn't the same after hurting his ankle midway through the season. In his last seven games, Orton threw for less than 200 yards in five of those games and had eight touchdown passes to eight interceptions. He did finish the season with career highs across the board, though ? completion percentage, yards and touchdowns. A trade sends him to one of the best offenses in the league, though, the Broncos. He moves to a pass-friendly system with some very good receivers. Orton won't be handed the job, but should have the first shot at it. Orton doesn't have a great arm, but it is good enough. He struggles with accuracy and decision making, though, and just doesn't ?wow? you at quarterback. Orton is pretty good about managing the game, though, and seems to have a knack for making clutch plays.

Orton is a good sleeper pick. He moves to an offense that should throw a lot. Maybe Josh McDaniels can turn Orton into this year's Matt Cassel. Don't reach too soon for Orton but consider him a top No. 2 fantasy quarterback. He could turn into a solid starter before season's end. |

| Mike Chambers, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton said he expects the team's Week 9 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will be a very physical. 'We're going to have to play physical. We're going to have to play smart. We're going to have to play our best game,' Orton said. 'We feel like we got a physical football team and certainly Pittsburgh prides (itself) on that, too. So it will be a hard-hitting game and whoever can win that battle will have a good chance to win.' |
