SIT ‘EM – D/ST

45. . D/ST. Broncos. Denver D/ST. 5. player

Denver’s defense has slowed down as of late and week 17 isn’t going to be kind to them either. The Broncos close out the year by hosting an electric (no pun intended) Chargers offense.

While LA struggled offensively last week against the Ravens, that’s a defense that could probably win a Super Bowl all on their own. Denver doesn’t have that kind of defense anymore and Philip Rivers and his Chargers have everything on the line this week.

If the Chargers win and the Chiefs lose to Oakland, LA can grab the AFC West and a top seed in the AFC. So yeah, everything is at stake for them in week 17.

They’re also coming off a loss that likely cost them the division and top seed, which will add fuel to the fire for the fiery Chargers. Keep Denver’s defense on the bench as the fantasy football season comes to a close.
