QB: Geno Smith had the third-best on the PFSN Quarterback Impact Rankings (QBi) score in Week 9, registering 84.3 (B) after registering the 31st-best score in his last game in Week 7.
Offense: Brock Bowers entered the Week 9 game against the Jaguars with 19 catches for 225 yards and no touchdowns in four games this season. Bowers got his season back on track with 12 catches, 127 yards, and three touchdowns.

Fantasy: Ashton Jeanty’s 47 receiving yards last week were his season high. Don’t bank on a repeat performance, as no team faces a lower percentage of targets to the running back position than the Broncos.
Denver Broncos
Team: The Broncos had the lead in the fourth quarter of both losses, and both games ended with the opponent. The Broncos had won six games in a row, including four games they trailed entering the fourth quarter.

Indianapolis Colts
Team: The Colts are 1-1 in games played in Europe, having lost to the Jaguars in London in 2016 and beaten the Patriots in 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.
