Denver Broncos

The Broncos' defense allowed 16 points and 353 total yards, while recording three sacks in Denver's Week 7 win over Arizona.

Fantasy Impact: Denver didn't force a turnover, but the defense kept Arizona out of the end zone until the third quarter and held the Cardinals to 3.9 yards per carry. Jacoby Brissett also needed 48 attempts to reach 272 passing yards. The lack of takeaways limited the fantasy total, but Denver remains a weekly starting D/ST.

Wil Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Lutz connected from 48, 43 and 31 yards, giving him 12 points on the afternoon. Denver's offense moved the ball much better than it had through the first six weeks, creating six scoring opportunities for Lutz. He is a viable weekly fantasy kicker.

Evan Engram caught one of three targets for two yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Engram couldn't take advantage of a favorable matchup and now has another game with minimal production. Denver has enough alternatives between its receivers and running backs that Engram isn't commanding the volume needed to overcome performances like this. He's difficult to trust as a weekly TE1.

Courtland Sutton caught three of five targets for 45 yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Sutton averaged 15 yards per reception but wasn't involved in either of Bo Nix's explosive touchdowns. He also finished behind Jaylen Waddle in targets for the second straight week. Sutton isn't a viable fantasy starter. Denver's expanding group of playmakers make his weekly production volatile.

Jaylen Waddle caught four of seven targets for 48 yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Waddle led Denver with seven targets but finished third on the team with 48 receiving yards. The encouraging part is the opportunity, as Courtland Sutton saw five targets and no other Bronco had more than three. Waddle remains a weekly fantasy starter despite the modest production, but is no more than a flex.

Marvin Mims Jr. caught both of his targets for 53 yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Mims made the most of his two targets, with 47 of his 53 yards coming on one reception. The big-play ability remains obvious, but two targets aren't enough to give him a reliable fantasy floor. Mims remains a boom-or-bust option in the deepest of leagues.

Jonah Coleman rushed nine times for 54 yards, while catching both of his targets for 15 yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Coleman returned from injured reserve and immediately led Denver's running backs with nine carries, averaging six yards per attempt. J.K. Dobbins still received the goal-line touchdown, and RJ Harvey scored through the air, but Coleman's usage in his first game back is difficult to ignore. He's worth rostering as Denver sorts out what could become a three-man backfield. Coleman is worth a start next week for Zero RB drafters.

J.K. Dobbins rushed six times for 23 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Dobbins scored from one yard out late in the third quarter, giving him a touchdown for the third consecutive game. The problem was everything else. His six carries were fewer than both Jonah Coleman's nine and Bo Nix's seven, while RJ Harvey remained involved in the passing game. Dobbins continues to find the end zone, but his workload took a significant hit with Coleman back. The former enters flex territory.

RJ Harvey rushed three times for six yards, while catching both of his targets for 54 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7

Fantasy Impact: Harvey turned a short pass from Bo Nix into a 52-yard touchdown for his biggest play of the afternoon. The touchdown saved an otherwise quiet day, as Harvey received just five touches with Jonah Coleman returning to the lineup. Harvey remains involved as a receiver, but Coleman's return adds another player to an already crowded Denver backfield. The former is in flex territory.

Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown, while rushing seven times for 73 yards and another touchdown in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Nix did most of his damage with his legs, including a 62-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He later connected with RJ Harvey for a 52-yard score and finished without a turnover. Nix's 51.7% completion rate wasn't impressive, but 295 total yards and two touchdowns were enough for a strong fantasy performance. He enters the low-end QB1 conversation heading into Week 8.

Fantasy Impact: Jones will have a chance to be good to go on Thursday against the Seahawks.

Troy Franklin caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: A week after not getting a single pass his way, Franklin came up with multiple catches for the first time this season in Sunday's win. Still, there was not much to see from the third-year pro. He's just not much of a factor in the struggling Denver passing game.

Pat Bryant (ankle) is being placed on injured reserve and will be out for the next four weeks at least. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bryant recently suffered an ankle injury, and it is serious enough that the team is placing him on short-term injured reserve. That means that he will be sidelined for the next four weeks at least, but it sounds like he's expected to make his return sometime not too long after that. Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton are both likely to see more work for the Broncos for the foreseeable future in his absence.
