Broncos Defense Has Stiffened Up

12 months ago

The Denver Broncos defense famously allowed 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. But since then, they've turned things around and are allowing fewer than two touchdowns per game, which is good enough to place inside the top 10 in the league. They're still allowing league-highs in points per game (27.6), total yards per game (401.8) and rushing yards per game (158.3) through 10 weeks, but they aren't as good of a matchup for opposing offensive skill players as earlier in the year. But that also doesn't mean fantasy managers should suddenly consider them a strong streaming option, either. They're facing a Minnesota Vikings team on Sunday night that could be getting All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) back from Injured Reserve with new quarterback Joshua Dobbs able to make plays off script as well as some of the elite QBs in the league.
