The Broncos are coming off a hard-fought statement win against the Eagles and look to keep that momentum rolling against a shaky Jets defense. Bo Nix continues to play smart, efficient football, while Denver’s playmakers are finding their rhythm.
The Jets, meanwhile, are trying to keep pace behind the surging play of Justin Fields and the explosive Breece Hall. Expect plenty of fantasy-relevant action in this AFC clash, where both teams will lean on their stars to make an impact.
🐎 Starts: Hall and Dobbins Quiet All Doubters
JK Dobbins – RB, Broncos
Dobbins has quietly been one of the most consistent backs in fantasy this season. His red zone role is secure: he’s staying on the field for scoring opportunities and producing when it matters. Lock him in as an RB2 with touchdown upside.

Courtland Sutton – WR, Broncos
Sutton continues to shine as Bo Nix’s top target. After racking up 99 yards on 10 targets against one of the league’s best secondaries, he’s earned every-week starter status. Expect another high-volume day with similar yardage totals.

Bo Nix – QB, Broncos
Nix has been impressively steady this year: efficient through the air and productive with his legs. He tossed a TD and added valuable rushing yards last week. Against the Jets’ inconsistent defense, he’s a strong QB2 or streaming option.

✈️ Starts
Justin Fields – QB, Jets
Fields continues to build confidence and fantasy momentum. He tossed 2 touchdowns and added 7 carries last week, showcasing the dual-threat ability that makes him dangerous. Keep rolling with him as a low-end QB1 with rushing upside.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Breece Hall – RB, Jets
Hall is back to elite form. He exploded for 113 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards last week, and looks primed to find the end zone this time. Denver’s defense is tough, but Hall’s volume and versatility make him a must-start.

Garrett Wilson – WR, Jets
Wilson is matchup-proof. He caught another touchdown last week and continues to be the focal point of the Jets’ passing attack. Expect double-digit targets once the Jets fall behind early.

🌙 Sleeper
Mason Taylor – TE, Jets 💤
Taylor’s target share has quietly grown in recent weeks, giving him sleeper appeal in deeper leagues or formats with multiple FLEX spots. If the Jets fall behind and throw often, Taylor could find the end zone or post solid yardage.

🚫 Sits
Troy Franklin – WR, Broncos
Franklin started the season strong but has cooled off quickly. Nix is spreading the ball around more, cutting into Franklin’s targets and limiting his ceiling. Keep him benched until his role stabilizes.

RJ Harvey – RB, Broncos
Harvey has faded into a clear backup role with Dobbins commanding the majority of touches. He’s no longer fantasy-viable outside of deep bench stashes.
