Nix on Broncos offense: 'Pretty pitiful'

Nix on Broncos offense: 'Pretty pitiful'

NBC Sports sports

Key Points:

  • The Denver Broncos offense struggled significantly against Kansas City's defense, managing only 176 yards, with new offensive coordinator Davis Webb's play-calling under scrutiny after head coach Sean Payton relinquished those duties.
  • WR Courtland Sutton tied for second in team targets but was limited by Kansas City's secondary, making him a low-upside WR4, especially with the addition of Jaylen Waddle who is expected to take on a larger role.
  • RB J.K. Dobbins led the team in carries but was limited to eight touches and is expected to face a tough schedule ahead, making him a risky fantasy start; RB RJ Harvey serves as the passing-down back but is also a middling RB3.
  • Rookie RB Jonah Coleman is part of the backfield rotation with potential upside due to his three-down skill set but should be considered a stash rather than a starter early in the season.
  • QB Russell Wilson showed mobility and connection with key receivers including Waddle and Harvey, with offensive coordinator Webb's emphasis on play action suggesting Wilson could be a low-end QB1 going forward.
