Denver Broncos Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

The Broncos had one of the softest schedules to start the 2025 season. 2026 is drastically different. In the first six weeks, it's tough, according to Warren Sharp (although drawing the Chiefs twice early on could be an advantage if Patrick Mahomes is less than 100%). First 8 games: Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Seahawks, Cardinals, and Chiefs. Third-toughest schedule over that stretch. If the Broncos don't have the same injury luck on defense two years in a row, it's possible they don't return elite DST status.
