Broncos D/ST Has Lower Ceiling In Week 16

Broncos D/ST Has Lower Ceiling In Week 16

4 months ago

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit checks in as the top defense in fantasy football heading into a big divisional meeting against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night in Week 16. The Broncos defense also leads the NFL with 49 sacks and defensive touchdowns with three in 14 games. Although they are probably still worth starting in most fantasy leagues this week -- they are also tied with the Chargers for fewest points allowed per game (17.6) in the NFL this year -- it might be more difficult for them to have yet another standout performance. The Chargers have surrendered the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing defenses in 2024, mainly because Justin Herbert and company are taking care of the football -- they have the second-fewest giveaways with eight. However, they also rank 10th in sacks allowed
