Summary

The Broncos started out well defensively but really faded down the stretch. Denver ranked 20th overall (18th against pass, 22nd against run). They had their issues against both the pass and run. The secondary probably is the strength with Champ Bailey remaining a premier cover corner. He'll be joined by Tracy Porter this year, who should improve the coverage in the secondary. The Broncos also have some guys that can get after the quarterback, including Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller. The Broncos had 41 sacks last year, which was above average. They do lack some bulk up front, though, which leads to the team getting pushed around at times when it comes to stopping the run. The special teams aren't too special with Eric Decker and Matt Willis handling the return duties. Both do alright in their roles, but are nothing too special.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Broncos have some sack and interception potential, but they won't limit the yards or points too well. Consider them a spot starter in the right matchup. They'll be up and down for fantasy teams.

Denver Broncos LB Nate Irving has improved with his move to strongside linebacker, showing more quickness in space. The team used him in the base defense against the San Diego Chargers in Week 6 Monday, Oct. 15, when the Chargers were in heavier formations on early downs. Irving needs to show he can consistently shed blockers to receive more playing time, though. Denver showed four-linebacker sets Monday, too, with Irving joining LBs Keith Brooking, Von Miller and Wesley Woodyard.
