Broncos D/ST A Must-Start Against Saints
2 months agoThe Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit is a must-start in fantasy for their Week 7 matchup on Thursday night against a New Orleans Saints offense that has been decimated by injuries. Not only is Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) not expected to play, but their top two receivers -- Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) -- have been ruled out. Denver's top cornerback, Patrick Surtain II (concussion), won't play either, but the Broncos' defense should still be able to thrive against rookie QB Spencer Rattler, who turned the ball over three times and was sacked five times in his NFL debut in last week's blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Denver's D has been a top-five unit in total fantasy points, while the Saints have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to defenses in the last two weeks.
