It’s time to set your fantasy football lineups. You just had lunch and have already completed your tasks for the day. Stop debating if the Denver Broncos will beat the Kansas City Chiefs, and let’s figure out who on the Broncos we should start this week. A true fan has at least one player from his favorite team on his fantasy squad. This week, let’s take a look at quarterback Bo Nix, running back RJ Havey, wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, and tight end Evan Engram.
Bo Nix
The Chiefs have allowed multi-passing touchdown games to quarterbacks just once in their last five. Coming off back-to-back sub-70 passer rating games, Nix gotta show me that he deserves to be in our starting lineups for fantasy football. That said, he matches up well against the Chiefs. Nix’s stats against the Chiefs the first time he played them are below.
22 of 30 for a 73.3 completion percentage, 215 yards, two touchdowns, 7.2 yards per attempt, and a 115.3 passer rating. He totaled three carries for 33 yards as well.
Start Nix as a low-end QB1.
RJ Harvey
Head coach Sean Payton said, “You’re starting to see that (growth) with RJ (Harvey). And obviously, he’ll have more opportunities here in this game. So, yeah, he’s built when you see his frame. He’s built to last, and that’s important.”
With RB J.K. Dobbins likely out in Week 11, it looks like Harvey will be a bellcow this week. The latter has 20 touches in his range of outcomes in Week 11. Harvey is a volume-based RB2 this week. The Chiefs, though, have allowed one rushing touchdown to a running back in their last five games, including one game allowing more than 90 rushing yards in that span.
Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin
The Chiefs allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. That said, you’re chasing volume with Franklin, who has 37 targets in the last four games. That’s over nine targets per game in that stretch. Sutton, meanwhile, is an all-or-nothing play this week. He has 26 targets in his past four, over six targets per game, but he is No. 19 in receiving yards this season. You’re hoping Sutton gets loose deep.

Sutton is a flex play, while Franklin is a WR2.
Evan Engram
The Chiefs allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Don’t start Engram; send a tweet.
