Broncos D/ST Faces Difficult Challenge In Wild-Card Game

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.

Jalen Hurts Set To Start In Wild-Card Showdown

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and is set to start Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
