Broncos vs. Rams: 5 players with most to lose, 5 with most to gain

Here are the five roster battles to watch closely as the Broncos battle the Rams in preseason Game 4.

It's coming down to the wire for those Denver Broncos whose roster prospects are less than secure. With the Los Angeles Rams next up on the exhibition docket, these Broncos have only two more games left to carve out a roster spot. 

Head coach Vic Fangio said this week that few, if any, starters will play on Saturday night in L.A, which gives the stage to the backups and bubble players still battling for a roster spot. 

As the roster begins to take shape, and these position battles crystalize, I've zeroed in on five players heading into the Rams game who have the most to lose, and conversely, five guys who have everything to gain. 

The preseason might not matter in the box score but it means the world to these bubble players scratching and clawing to earn a roster spot and keep their NFL dream alive. Some are rookies, while others are short-term veterans holding on for dear life. 

In the video above, I lay it all out. These are the 10 players to watch closest on Saturday night as Broncos throw down vs. the reigning NFC-Champion Rams. 

As always, I want to hear what you think. Sound off in the comments, especially if you think I omitted a roster battle that bears scrutiny.
