It's a nightmare Week 1 for Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, and whoever else is going to run pass routes from the boundary. Denver's elite coverage unit obliterated opposing outside receivers last season, allowing just 90 total yards per game to boundary pass catchers.

Worthy faces elite Broncos boundary coverage; nightmare Week 1 matchup.

Xavier Worthy faces a nightmare Week 1 matchup against Denver's elite coverage unit. Denver allowed just 90 total yards per game to boundary pass catchers in 2025, the lowest in the league. This unfavorable matchup should lead to more target funneling to slot pass catchers like Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce.
