The Denver Broncos will take on the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football for the final game of Week 13. Colorado's only NFL team has a trio of offensive players who are being considered for starting lineups in a large number of leagues.
Wide receivers and running backs are the two most important positions in fantasy football, so it makes sense to put plenty of thought into making the right decisions.
Here, we'll break down three players from the Broncos and whether you should lock them into your starting lineups or leave them on the bench.
Should I Start Courtland Sutton for Fantasy Football?
Yes. Sutton has established himself as the team's clear No. 1 wideout, to no one's surprise. But his connection with quarterback Bo Nix has been flourishing in recent weeks.

You can't bench a team's WR1 on a good offense that's putting up these kind of numbers. No. 14 should be in your starting lineups every week for the rest of the season unless you somehow have better options, and most teams do not.
Should I Start Devaughn Vele for Fantasy Football?
In PPR leagues with 14 or more teams, there's probably a spot for him in starting lineups. In other leagues, there are likely better options. Vele caught six of his nine targets for 80 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, but we'd like to see more consistent production from the rookie.
Devaughn Vele has been lights out for the Broncos on 3rd downs converting 8/9 targets into first downs. I'm excited to watch these two build on their chemistry for the rest of the season. pic.twitter.com/TyEZbu8gqB

He has plenty of potential in a blossoming offense. Keep your eye on him moving forward. He's a great bench stash in less-deep leagues.
Should I Start Javonte Williams for Fantasy Football?
No. It's nearly impossible to trust anyone from this backfield moving forward. It's likely that head coach Sean Payton simply doesn't like any of the RBs on his team. Williams never returned to form after a devastating knee injury in 2022, Jaleel McLaughlin hasn't lived up to his 2023, hype, and rookie Audric Estime had fumbling issues and hasn't played inspiring football.

Williams ended with a stat line of 8/-2/0 and 2/6/0 in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Yes, that's eight carries for negative two yards. All three of the team's backs are not good. Wait for next year when Denver drafts Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton, and pick them up in your fantasy drafts. Don't bother with the guys this year, though.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jauan Jennings, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.
The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
