Broncos Defense Faces A Challenge In Week 13

During their current five-game winning streak, the Denver Broncos defense/special teams has been a top-five fantasy unit, picking up nine sacks, 10 fumble recoveries, five interceptions and even a safety for good measure.

Javonte Williams Looking For Bounce-Back Game In Week 13

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a season-high 19.0 half-PPR fantasy points in the Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills but then had back-to-back lackluster outings the last two games against the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns.

Greg Dulcich Could Still Return This Year

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring), who went on Injured Reserve on Oct. 21, has started to work off to the side during practices. There is still a ways to go for him, but with six games left in the regular season, he could be a helpful late-season addition for the Broncos if all […]

Keenan Allen Downplays His Injury

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable to play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots, sounds like he expects to play on Sunday.
