Denver Broncos – Fantasy Forecast – Week 13
Denver Broncos 9-2 at Kansas City Chiefs 9-2
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Peyton Manning
#5 Ranked QB
It is Peyton so he is must starts. We may have him ranked super high, as does everyone else, but he only scored 14.92 fantasy points two weeks ago against the Chiefs. Manning passed for 150 yards, one TD, and one INT last week against New England, which gave you a whopping 12.00 fantasy points. You never bench your studs so most likely you will play him. The Chiefs give up the 9th fewest fantasy points to QBs.
Demaryius Thomas
#5 Ranked WR
Thomas has scored 6 TDs in the last five games. The one game in which he didn’t score a TD he had 121 receiving yards. Last week Thomas had 41 yards receiving and a TD. He is becoming Peyton’s favorite target and should always be in your lineup.
Wes Welker and Eric Decker
#19 Ranked WR and #23 Ranked WR
If Moreno is out Manning will be forced to throw more which should help these guys get back on the WRs map. Welker was held to 31 yards against the Patriots and had a few drops. Decker had one catch for five yards last week. Both players had just over 70 yards two weeks ago against the Chiefs. That might be good enough for you 3rd WR, but Kansas City gives up the 14th fewest points to WRs.
Gut Calls
Knowshon Moreno
#2 Ranked RB
Moreno is Questionable for Sunday, but if he plays you should play him. Moreno carried the ball 37 times for 224 yards last week. He is a huge part of the offense. Kansas City gives up the 15th fewest fantasy points to RBs, but the Broncos will need him to play if they want to win this one. Who would have thought that Peyton and his deadly receivers would have such a Moreno heavy game plan?
Montee Ball
#35 Ranked RB
Keep watching Broncos news. If Moreno is out, or very limited, that will increase Ball’s fantasy worth. Ball had 40 yards rushing and 17 yards receiving before being benched for a fumble in the 3rd quarter. Lucky for him this is a problem for the entire backup RB corps. Ball had 16.10 fantasy points against the Chiefs in Week 11.
Bench Warmers
Julius Thomas
#5 Ranked TE
The Broncos came out and said Julius is very Questionable. We say take him out of your lineup and find a new TD for your team for Week 13. Two weeks ago against the Chiefs Julius had 43 yards and a TD. Kansas gives up the fewest fantasy points to TEs.
