Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	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.	The Rams were fourth in pressure rate last season (26%) and just added last year's reigning sack record-breaker in EDGE rusher Myles Garrett. Jared Verse had no problems generating pressures last season, but he didn't always finish with the sack. That won't be an issue with Garrett entrenched as the Rams' top pass rusher. Add that the Rams led the NFL in dropped interceptions (10) and revamped their secondary with the additions of CBs Jaylen Watson/Trent McDuffie - LA is knocking on the door of DST No. 1 status in pursuit of a Lombardi trophy.
