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 […]

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.

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.
