Denver Broncos

The Broncos' D/ST logged two sacks and one interception while allowing 31 points in Monday night's blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

Denver's defense is supposed to be among the best in the entire NFL, but they didn't look the part on Monday night. They allowed Patrick Mahomes II to lead Kansas City to 31 points on the night, despite the fact that this was his first game back from a major injury and was missing one of his starting tackles. This unit should return to elite form at some point this season, but they have a rocky schedule coming up for the next 4-6 weeks and should not be considered an elite fantasy option at the position for that stretch of games.

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.
