BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Tier 3 DST
ANALYSIS: It feels strange including the Broncos' defense any higher than Tier 4, but this is not the same defense that gave up 70 points to the Dolphins in Week 3. This does not mean the Broncos should be confused with a good defense as they still rank 32nd in defensive DVOA...but Denver's DST has been playing well over the last three games.

In games against the Chiefs, Bills, and Vikings (all wins for the Broncos), the Broncos' DST has a POA of +5.2, meaning they have scored 5.2 points more than those teams have been allowing to DSTs on average. This includes a 17-point fantasy day against the Chiefs. Dorian Thompson-Robinson played well enough in Week 11 for the Browns to squeak out a win against the Steelers, but he is still an inexperienced, fifth-round rookie, and we like the Broncos at home with an implied points against of only 17.5.
