Cons

Based on their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Broncos are projected by our trusted projection set to run only 63.1 plays on offense in this contest: the 4th-lowest number among all teams this week.
The Broncos have called the fewest plays in the league this year, totaling a mere 53.2 plays per game.
With an atrocious record of 3.65 adjusted yards per carry (22nd percentile) this year, Javonte Williams places among the worst pure runners in football at the position.
