Broncos D/ST Remains A Must-Start Unit In Week 13

5 months ago

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit should be in all starting fantasy lineups as they get set to host the visiting Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Through 12 weeks, the Broncos defense is tied for fourth in overall fantasy points and also ranks second in points per game (16.8), third in total yards allowed per game (296), first in sacks (44) and is tied for 10th in takeaways (15). It's been a shutdown and opportunistic D, and they will be getting defensive lineman Zach Allen (ankle) back after he sat out the Week 12 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Cleveland's offense has looked better since quarterback Jameis Winston took over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles), but the Browns are still averaging only 292.5 total yards per game, which is fourth-worst in the NFL. In the last five weeks, Cleveland has been a top-10 matchup for fantasy defenses.
