Denver Broncos
DST - Denver Broncos
Availability
The Broncos' D/ST logged four sacks, one interception, one fumble recovery, and a touchdown while allowing just three points in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Denver's defense has been among the best in the league all season long, and they had a suitable performance to end the regular season on Sunday. They logged four sacks and two turnovers against the Chargers, one of which they were able to take to the house for a touchdown. This unit will make life hard for any team they end up playing in the postseason.
The Broncos defense surrendered 13 points on only 139 yards of total offense, registering one sack in Thursday's win over the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
This Christmas, the Broncos defense was given the gift of a struggling Chiefs offense led by a third-string QB making his first career start. The Denver unit took full advantage, shutting down the Chiefs on the ground and through the air. The Broncos feature a strong defense, but the task will be more difficult against the Chargers in Week 18.
The Broncos' D/ST logged five sacks and allowed 34 points in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Denver's defense had a bad game on Sunday. Jacksonville put up the most points on them out of any team this season with 34, and the Broncos weren't able to log any big turnovers to help turn the tide of the game. This unit should bounce back and have a good game against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, however.
The Denver Broncos D/ST held off a strong Packers offense for a 34-26 win on Sunday. They sacked QB Jordan Love three times and picked him off twice.
Fantasy Impact
The Broncos defense showed once again they are a championship caliber unit. It may not have been the cleanest game, but holding the Packers to two offensive touchdowns and forcing an additional two turnovers on downs should count as a success. They’ll be a nice start against the next week, even against the rising Jaguars.
The Denver Broncos D/ST racked up four sacks and a special teams touchdown against the Raiders on Sunday in their 24-17 win.
Fantasy Impact
The Broncos' defense had its moments against the Raiders, but didn't put up a standout performance against the struggling offense. Their fantasy day was greatly improved by a punt touchdown return by Marvin Mims. It might be best to find a different option at D/ST next week with the Broncos facing the Packers.
