American Football Conference · AFC West · 1 Super Bowl (2015)
The Denver Broncos were founded in 1959 in Denver, Colorado, where they play home games at Empower Field at Mile High. The franchise is owned by Rob Walton, with George Paton serving as general manager and Sean Payton as head coach. The club, also known as the Orange Crush and No Fly Zone, is headquartered in Dove Valley, Colorado. Denver's recent history includes a Super Bowl championship in 2015 following a 12–4 season, though the years that followed brought inconsistency. The Broncos endured a stretch from 2017 to 2023 without a winning record, bottoming out at 4–12 in 2010 and 5–11 in both 2017 and 2020. The tide turned in 2024 with a 10–7 playoff berth, followed by a strong 14–3 campaign in 2025 that again reached the postseason. The current roster features quarterback Bo Nix alongside running backs Jonah Coleman, J.K. Dobbins, and RJ Harvey. The receiving corps includes Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., Jaylen Waddle, and Troy Franklin, with Evan Engram at tight end. Defensively, the Broncos boast pass rusher Nik Bonitto, linemen Zach Allen and D.J. Jones, and a secondary anchored by cornerback Pat Surtain II alongside Riley Moss and Ja'Quan McMillian.

“Denver may only end up keeping three RBs on their final, 53-man roster when it's finalized at the end of the month — Dobbins, Coleman, and Harvey being locks.”
“I'm doubtful the Broncos will be willing to carry three quarterbacks on the roster out of camp, which means Ehlinger is likely to hit the waiver wire at the end of the month.”
“The same holds true for Dallen Bentley, whose play against Atlanta showed the Broncos might want to keep him on the 53-man roster.”
“He made the roster last year as an undrafted rookie, and it's looking very good for him again.”
“Entering Year 3, KAD is having a nice camp, securing his spot on the roster as the fifth cornerback.”
“We've got them keeping four running backs here on the 53. We got JK Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman. And I think also number four, Jalou McLaughlin.”
“We've got Red Murdoch making the roster, Jordan Turner making the roster”
“We've got them keeping four running backs here on the 53. We got JK Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman.”
“Evan Ingram, Adam Troutman, those guys are evident roster locks. I even think you and I have discussed Justin Jolie's a roster lock”
“bo Nick's going up against the Chargers. He's tied for eighth at nineteen fantasy points per game”
“Franklin's gonna get probably mid teens to close to twenty percent of my budget.”
“He is worth drafting.”
“Well, I don't have to break the tie, but just so you know, I'm drafting him as well. So three for three, that's a clean sweep on RJ. Harvey.”
“So I am a draft on RJ. Harvey... I think the ceiling continues to jump up and up”
“I am trying to collect Marvin Mims in as many fantasy drafts as I possibly can... He's gonna burn it.”
“It's Marvin Mims... now we're talking about Marvin Mims clearly is the number two and potentially having one hundred plus targets”
“Round fourteen Marvin Mims wide receiver for the Denver Broncos with a full time role... Martin Mims is about to take over the world”
“I'm going to go JK. Dobbins. I think you have the premium handcuff appeal if R. J. Harvey were to get injured... I think Dobbins crushes”
“Yes, RJ. Harvey fifth round every single time, auto lock on pick every single time. I'll take him in the fourth.”
“it's a great candidate to have, like great fantasy value compared to where he's going to get drafted”
“So I think Marvin Mims is going to be way better than wide receiver forty nine A fifty nine.”
“Marvin Mimms going around wide receiver fifty seven right now currently, that's kind of his mo. That's a pretty darn good value for a guy in that offense could take a real step forward this season”
“I've got RJ. Harvey is locked in top fifteen back this year”
“Marvin Mims, Denver Broncos ... listed among four potential breakout receivers”

“That being said, I think the Broncos do win by 20 plus points, and I think it's going to be a laugher”
“the chargers are sitting their starters in that game against the Denver Broncos. So looks like the Broncos will be your one seed.”
“I think that the Denver and the Chargers. I think Denver it's a it's a lofty number at twelve and a half. But the Broncos they want to secure the one.”
“we're gonna both go in on the Broncos minus twelve and a half to beat the Chargers backups”
“So I expect Denver to bounce back big time.”
“I think that they will absolutely roast them, But that is one thing football wise that'll be watching.”
“I think the Broncos will win the one seed, and they're gonna get they're gonna have to play fewer games.”
