2023 Fantasy Outlook
After suffering a season-ending hip injury early in the 2022 season, Sterns will look to bounce back to the level of promise he showed in his first 20 games in Denver. It's possible the 23-year-old may not be ready for the start of training camp, so the team made it a point to re-sign veteran safety Kareem Jackson to a one-year deal. Assuming Sterns can come back healthy this season, it's likely he takes a step forward as Jackson's successor and builds upon his already impressive performance. Read Past Outlooks

Moved to IR
Sterns (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sterns suffered a torn left patellar tendon in the season opener against the Raiders. The safety will be eligible to return from injured reserve after four weeks, but Sterns' injury is likely to be season-ending.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could step into bigger role
Sterns is expected to take on an increased role for the Broncos in 2023, Mike Klis of 9 NBC News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos re-signed veteran Kareem Jackson to a one-year deal Sunday, but he reportedly was told he would be returning to a decreased workload. That would allow Sterns to continue to grow his role in the team's secondary, though he'll first need to prove he's healthy after a hip injury ended his 2022 season in Week 5. Prior to going down, he recorded 21 total tackles with two interceptions and four passes defended.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The fifth-round selection in this year's draft figures to add more depth to the Denver secondary. Drafted as a safety, Sterns will likely not see the field as a starter in 2021. Depending on his play during the preseason, the rookie may earn himself a spot on the roster and be a part of the defensive rotation in the upcoming season.
