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 […]

Brandon McManus A Kicking Streamer In Week 5

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus hasn't done a whole lot for fantasy managers the last two weeks after making six of his seven field-goal tries in Weeks 1 and 2. In the last two weeks, though, he's made just two of three field-goal attempts and has missed one of his three extra-point tries. The 31-year-old […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Not On The Streaming Radar

It's not a good sign that Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam has just two more receptions (six) than receiver Kendall Hinton through the first four games of the season. Okwuegbunam also has only four more targets (10) than fellow tight end Eric Saubert, who has also scored a touchdown. The bottom line is that […]

Jerry Jeudy Is A WR3 For Thursday Night

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught his second touchdown pass of the season in the Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. It was a nice bounce-back performance after going for just three catches on nine targets for 28 yards in Weeks 2 and 3. He currently ranks third on the team in […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton leads the team in catches (24), targets (35) and receiving yards (343) through the first four weeks of the 2022 season as quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to option in the passing game.
