Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey simply cannot be trusted in fantasy for a Week 10 divisional matchup this Sunday on the road against the 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs. Humphrey ranks third on the Broncos in targets (32), receptions (21) and receiving yards (188), but the lack of production speaks for itself, and he has yet to get into the end zone in nine games played. The 26-year-old does have some impressive yards-after-the-catch skills, but he's only gone over four catches in a game once this year and still has yet to eclipse 50 yards in a game. Denver's offense could struggle to move the ball for the second straight week against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest half-PPR points to opposing pass-catchers this season. There's no reason for Humphrey to be rostered in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Although he hasn't found the end zone as a pass-catcher, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has had his best two games of the season in the last two weeks, combining for 15 catches (21 targets) for 222 yards while also throwing a touchdown pass to quarterback Bo Nix on a trick play last week. He's seen double-digit targets the last two weeks for the first time since Week 3 and only the fourth time in 2024. The 29-year-old ranks 11th among all wideouts with 68 targets but is tied for 19th with 36 receptions and averages 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game -- tied with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 36th. It might be difficult for Sutton to extend his streak of 100-yard games to three in Week 10 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, a team allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers. Sutton should be considered a WR3/flex in fantasy this Sunday on the road.

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin's fantasy stock is down heading into a tough Week 10 divisional matchup on the road against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin hasn't really been a realistic starting option for fantasy managers all year, but he's especially off the radar going up against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to RBs in nine games. He had just eight touches for 20 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and saw rookie Audric Estime handle just as many carries while being more productive. Head coach Sean Payton said he wants to get Estime more involved moving forward, which is most likely going to come at the expense of McLaughlin. The second-year back has taken a step back in 2024 and is averaging just 5.7 half-PPR points this year, which ranks him 50th among all RBs in the league.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams will be facing a Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 10 that has allowed the fewest PPR points per game to the running back position through nine weeks of the 2024 season. That won't give fantasy managers much confidence in Williams, who has produced double-digit half-PPR points just twice in nine games this year, with one of those games being his two-touchdown breakout in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Williams hasn't scored in any other game and will need to be much more efficient than he's been this year to return any kind of value in Week 10. The only good news is that Williams has seen at least 17 touches in four of the last six games as Denver's clear lead back. The 24-year-old enters Week 10 as a low-upside RB3/flex and has averaged 9.6 half-PPR points this year, which ranks 32nd among RBs.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw for a season-high 284 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers before coming back down to Earth in the Week 9 blowout loss on the road to the Baltimore Ravens, when he threw for 223 yards, no touchdowns and his first interception since Week 6. While Nix has looked much better in recent weeks than he did at the start of his rookie campaign, things won't get any easier in Week 10 on the road against the undefeated and division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. KC's defense has allowed just over 200 passing yards per game in nine games in 2024 and have been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. Nix actually checks in as the QB11 in overall fantasy points entering Week 10, but he should be considered more of a low-end QB2 on the road against the reigning Super Bowl champions.
