QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Bo Nix	513.9	344.3	3545.9	24.92	10.28	85.2	383.4	3.62	281.02
Jarrett Stidham	32.8	20.3	232.9	1.34	1.23	4.6	11.5	0.05	13.67
QB Totals	546.7	364.6	3778.8	26.26	11.51	89.8	394.9	3.67	294.69

Bo Nix: Nix started slowly (didn't throw first touchdown until Week 4), but he was one of the most productive fantasy quarterbacks from Week 5 through the end of the season. During that span, he completed 68.3% of his pass attempts for 3,115 yards, 28 touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing 69 times for 320 yards and two scores. He was fantasy's QB5 (QB6 on per-game basis) from Week 5-18. The Broncos added Evan Engram in free agency and used a pair of top-75 picks on playmakers — R.J. Harvey (No. 60) and Pat Bryant (No. 74) — in the 2025 NFL Draft. Denver's defense is arguably the best in the NFL, however, which could potentially limit the ceiling of the offense (i.e., fewer shootouts needed).

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
RJ Harvey	177.3	780.1	4.43	50.5	361	1.9	177.34
J.K. Dobbins	161.1	725	4.83	31.7	187.6	0.8	140.89
Jaleel McLaughlin	15	66	0.23	9.4	60.2	0.6	22.3
Tyler Badie	4.6	20.2	0.1	2.3	14.7	0.1	5.84
RB Totals	358	1591.3	9.59	93.9	623.5	3.4	346.37

RJ Harvey: Following the 2025 NFL Draft, Harvey's draft pedigree (second round), landing spot, and existing competition made him a post-draft fantasy football winner. Only Boise State's Ashton Jeanty had more 10-yard runs (63, 16.8%) than Harvey (54, 23.4%) last season, and he should be considerably more involved as a receiver, especially given Sean Payton's historical ranking in running back targets. More competition was added to the mix after the draft with Denver's signing of J.K. Dobbins, who has averaged 5.2 YPC for his career and should earn a sizable workload, when healthy. Harvey is an upside RB2.

J.K. Dobbins: Injuries have derailed Dobbins' career. Since the Baltimore Ravens selected him 55th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, Dobbins has played only 37 total games. His 13-game campaign with the Chargers in 2024 was only his second season playing more than eight games, and he rushed for 195/905/9 (4.6 YPC) and added 32/153/0 (4.8 Y/R). Even though I have RJ Harvey ranked ahead of Dobbins, he will be a weekly flex option with upside as long as his health cooperates.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Courtland Sutton	77.1	1007.6	6.9	0	0	0	180.71
Marvin Mims Jr.	49.2	655.1	5.9	11.5	40.3	0.46	132.3
Pat Bryant	25.6	315.8	2.4	0	0	0	58.78
Troy Franklin	23.8	246	1.7	1.2	4.8	0.05	47.48
Trent Sherfield Sr.	7.7	85.4	0.6	0	0	0	15.99
WR Totals	183.4	2309.9	17.5	12.7	45.1	0.51	435.26

Courtland Sutton: Despite a slow start in 2024, Sutton set career highs in targets (135) and receptions (81) and finished with the second 1,000-yard season of his career. From Week 8 through the end of the season, Sutton had 60/804/6 on 88 targets while performing as fantasy's WR7 (10th on a PPG basis). Including their playoff loss, he had five-plus receptions, eight-plus targets and 50-plus yards in 10 of his final 11 games. Per NextGen Stats, only Calvin Ridley (44.58%) had a higher share of his team's air yards than Sutton (43.94%) in 2024.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Evan Engram	69.9	672.4	3.7	124.39
Adam Trautman	11	116.8	1.1	23.78
Lucas Krull	3.9	36.9	0.2	6.84
Nate Adkins	2.3	19.2	0.3	4.87
TE Totals	87.1	845.3	5.3	159.88

Evan Engram: Engram missed eight games in 2024, but the veteran tight end has a combined 24.01% target share in his 26 games played over the past two seasons. There's no chance that he commands such a robust target share in his first season with the Broncos, but he should perform as a back-end TE1 and as the passing game's No. 2 option behind Courtland Sutton.
