Broncos Defense Worth A Look As A Streamer Against Colts

Most fantasy managers probably will want nothing to do with the Denver Broncos defense/special teams after they allowed 32 points and 385 yards of total offense to the Las Vegas Raiders in the Week 4 loss. The Broncos D is tied for 18th in the league through four weeks with 21 overall points. The good […]
