Denver Broncos
DST - Denver Broncos
2024 Outlook
The Broncos' defense allowed 27 points on 359 yards of total offense while picking up three sacks in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
The Broncos' defense has been about as inconsistent as one can be throughout the season. The unit did not give one of its better efforts Sunday, allowing Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell to throw for nearly 250 yards and two scored while giving up 129 yards and another touchdown on the ground. The Broncos were also unable to come up with a takeaway in their season finale.
The Broncos D/ST allowed nine points while notching one sack and forcing one turnover in a 16-9 win over the Chargers in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Denver held the Chargers to just 301 yards of total offense in the win. The Broncos got a sack from Jonathon Cooper while D.J. Jones forced an Austin Ekeler fumble. The Broncos will face the Raiders in Week 18.
Broncos D/ST recorded two sacks while also forcing one turnover (one fumble recovery) in a 26-23 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was unable to make stops at key moments Sunday night, culminating with a game-winning Chad Ryland field goal for the Patriots. The defense will look to make more of an impact against a Los Angeles Chargers team that will be starting rookie quarterback Easton Stick in Week 17.
The Broncos D/ST struggled to stop the Lions in Week 15, recording just two sacks while allowing seven touchdowns and failing to register a turnover in a 42-17 loss Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had no answers for a Detroit offensive attack Saturday night, allowing scores on the ground and through the air on their way to giving up 448 total offensive yards in a disappointing effort. The unit will look for more plentiful results against a dismal New England Patriots offense in Week 16.
The Broncos' defense allowed seven points, registered six sacks, and forced two turnovers during their 24-7 win over the Chargers in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Alex Singleton (14 tackles, one sack) and Josey Jewell (nine tackles, one sack, one fumble recovery) led the way for Denver. Jonathon Cooper was credited with the interception. This unit should remain in consideration as a fringe top-12 fantasy option against the Lions next week.
