Wil Lutz Only Makes One Extra Point In Wild-Card Game

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was a top-10 fantasy kicker during the regular season, but we warned fantasy managers setting DFS lineups in playoff leagues to avoid him for the wild-card matchup in Buffalo against the Bills on Sunday.

Jaleel McLaughlin Loses Yardage On Three Touches In Loss To Bills

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a complete non-factor in the team's 31-7 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday on wild-card weekend. Like most of the season, Denver's backfield was stuck in the mud and couldn't get anything going to control the game, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix leading the team with […]

Tyler Badie Active, Audric Estime A Healthy Scratch Against Buffalo

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active for the wild-card game at Orchard Park in Buffalo against the Bills on Sunday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Baltimore Ravens are hoping that wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) will be available next weekend in the Divisional Round of the postseason if they can knock off the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night in the wild-card matchup.

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams was the top unit in fantasy through 18 weeks thanks to a league-high 63 sacks (and franchise record), 10 fumble recoveries, 15 interceptions, three defensive touchdowns, two safeties and 311 points against. They also allowed the third-fewest points per game (18.3). However, fantasy managers will want to fade them in […]

Wil Lutz Should Be Avoided Against Bills

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was one of the most consistent fantasy kickers in 2024, making 31 of his 34 field-goal attempts and all 46 of his extra-point tries in 17 games to put him as the No. 7 fantasy kicker. Since having the potential game-winning kick blocked in Week 10 against the Kansas City […]

Audric Estime Hard To Trust Heading Into Playoffs

Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime is hard to recommend for fantasy lineups against the Buffalo Bills on wild-card weekend this Sunday as part of a three-man RB committee in Denver that also includes Jaleel McLaughlin and Javonte Williams. Estime did have 12 carries in the Week 18 win over the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Devaughn Vele Could Surprise On Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele isn't going to be in many DFS or playoff lineups on wild-card weekend when the Broncos head to Orchard Park to take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Javonte Williams A Touchdown-Dependent RB Against The Bills

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams doesn't have much upside at all while involved in a three-man RB committee as the Broncos head to Buffalo on Sunday to face the Bills at Orchard Park in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Especially if the Broncos are forced to throw the ball often -- they are […]

Jaleel McLaughlin A Low-Upside RB2 For Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has been the slight favorite in a three-man committee backfield late in the season in a Broncos backfield that also involves Javonte Williams and rookie Audric Estime.

Marvin Mims Jr. Has WR2 Upside As He Looks To Stay Hot In Playoffs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is one of the hottest wideouts in the league heading into a wild-card playoff matchup on Sunday in Orchard Park against the hosting Buffalo Bills.

Courtland Sutton In WR1 Range For Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has essentially been a WR1 in fantasy since the midway point of the season, and that shouldn't change on wild-card weekend when the team travels to Buffalo to take on the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo's defense was a middle-of-the-pack matchup for opposing wideouts over the course of the season, […]

Bo Nix Has Sleeper Potential Against Buffalo

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a pretty special rookie campaign after being taken in the first round last April, helping lead Denver to their first postseason appearance since 2015.
