Bryce Young Faces Tough Broncos Defense Amid Pass Protection Concerns

Young has endured heavy pressure over his last two games behind an offensive line missing tackle Taylor Moton, contributing to three interceptions and a recent dip in efficiency. While he reported his knee is fine after Green Bay, Dave Canales noted his mobility could be slightly limited when escaping dirty pockets.

Fantasy managers have grown wary as his start rate has dropped to 30%, making him primarily a streaming option or Superflex play this week. While our weekly projection forecasts a solid 236 passing yards and 1.5 touchdowns (17.8 fantasy points), facing a Denver team on a four-game win streak limits his overall ceiling.

Bo Nix at Carolina — Dual-Threat Momentum Gives Him Streaming Appeal

Leading Denver on a four-game winning streak, Nix has found his rhythm over the last two weeks with four total touchdowns and zero interceptions. His ability to protect the football and extend plays—highlighted by a record-setting 62-yard rushing touchdown—has revitalized his confidence and stabilized Denver's passing attack.

Heading into a favorable road matchup against Carolina, our projections forecast 16.8 fantasy points, including around 170 passing yards, a passing score, and 17 rushing yards. While rostered in roughly 60% of leagues, Nix is started in just 19%, making him a viable streaming option and a solid Superflex play.
