Von Miller

Per James Palmer of NFL Network, LB Von Miller will be returning to the Broncos after having his 2021 option exercised.

Fantasy Impact

After Miller reportedly declined a restructured deal with Denver, the Broncos have decided to exercise his 2021 option. This means that Miller will not be allowed to become an unrestricted free agent this year and will be back staying put in Denver. Miller has a $17.5M base salary for 2021, with $7M guaranteed. The All Pro LB didn't play in 2020 due to an early season ankle injury, but should be an instrumental part of the Denver defense as always, at least for this year.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio says that he doesn't expect Von Miller (ankle) to return this season.

Fantasy Impact

Miller has yet to practice, which is an obvious sign that he won't return for either of Denver's final two regular season contests. The 31-year-old underwent ankle surgery in September and hasn't played at all this season.

Von Miller has officially been placed on IR after suffering an ankle injury last Tuesday. The sustained injury is expected to require surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Losing Miller is a huge blow for Denver's defense but they looked solid without him on Monday night, keeping Derrick Henry out of the end zone. Miller will hope to be ready for the 2021 season.

Broncos' OLB Von Miller injured a tendon in his ankle on the last play of practice today, and he is expected to need surgery that is likely to end his season.

Fantasy Impact

Miller is set to enter his 10th season in the NFL and was primed to form quite the pass-rushing duo opposite of Bradley Chubb. That would be a huge loss to a possible top-five unit.

Broncos All-Pro LB Von Miller suffered a lower leg injury at practice Tuesday and the fear is that his season is over.

Fantasy Impact

The MRI will reveal the extent of the injury, but it’s reportedly not looking optimistic according to sources. This would be a huge blow to an up and coming Broncos defense.
