Fantasy Football Outlook: Denver Broncos players Week 1

This Sunday, September 8, the Denver Broncos head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. With some new names on the roster, as well as returnees, it can be difficult to decide who to play or who to sit if one or more of these players are on one's fantasy team.

With all of the major starters expected to play, here is a list of the top Denver Broncos players and what they are projected to put up in Fantasy Football PPR leagues.

QB: Bo Nix - 13.1

Bo Nix is coming off of a phenomenal preseason putting up 205 passing yards and two touchdowns. During his 2023 season at Oregon, he threw for 45 total touchdowns with a completion percentage of 77.45. While the NFL will provide a much larger challenge, Bo Nix is hungry to make a name for himself.

RB: Javonte Williams - 12.3

Last season, Williams ran for 774 yards on 217 carries and scored three touchdowns. For fantasy managers, that may not look appealing. However, Williams did come off of a considerable knee surgery, and with a rookie quarterback at the helm week one as well as limited elite receiving, head coach Sean Payton may look to give Williams a considerable amount of opportunities.

WR: Courtland Sutton - 11.9

The seasoned veteran of the team is coming off of a nearly 60 total receptions season with 772 yards and a career-best ten touchdowns. Again while that may not look like much, Sutton shared much of his workload with now Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy. As stated by ESPN, "the offseason trade of Jerry Jeudy opens up some targets and paves the way for Sutton to be the Broncos' receiving alpha dog".

RB: Jaleel McLaughlin - 8.0

Sharing touches with Williams, McLaughlin was a spark plug for the Broncos last season, where he had back-to-back games of 17-plus points and on 12 of his 76 rushing attempts, he ran for ten-plus yards (sixth-best among running backs). McLaughlin should look to have a bigger role entering this 2024 season.
