SCHEDULE CRUNCHERS

Denver Broncos
AFC West

The 2nd team to be examined out of the AFC West is the Denver Broncos. This is a team that seems to have a ton of questions swirling around them this offseason. Will Jay Cutler rise from mediocrity? Will Brandon Marshall serve a suspension, and for how long? Will Shannahan continue to imploy a 437 running backs system? Can Selvin Young take hold of the starting job and turn himself into a featured back?

Division : AFC West
Yards Allowed Per Game
Chiefs : 319 (13th)
Chargers : 320 (14th)
Broncos : 336 (19th)
Raiders : 342 (22nd)

Points Allowed Per Game
Chargers : 18 (5th)
Chiefs : 21 (14th)
Raiders : 25 (27th)
Broncos : 26 (28th)

Below you will find the opponents and their defensive ranking based on a combination of points allowed and yards allowed from the 2007 season. These are the 2 stats that typically can indicate how well fantasy players will score against any given defense.

Week 1 : Raiders (25th)
Week 2 : Chargers (9th)
Week 3 : Saints (26th)
Week 4 : Chiefs (14th)
Week 5 : Bucs (3rd)
Week 6 : Jaguars (10th)
Week 7 : Patriots (4th)
Bye
Week 9 : Dolphins (30th)
Week 10 : Browns (28th)
Week 11 : Falcons (31st)
Week 12 : Raiders (25th)
Week 13 : Jets (18th)
Week 14 : Chiefs (14th)
Week 15 : Panthers (16th)
Week 16 : Bills (24th)
Week 17 : Chargers (9th)

Strength Of Schedule Index : 18.58

Fantasy Playoffs

Chiefs (14th) Panthers (16th) Bills (24th)

Fantasy Playoffs Strength Index : 18

The Broncos schedule doesn't look great, but it doesn't look terrible either. They have a few low points, like the 3 week stretch of playing the Bucs, Jags and Patriots. Then there are some high points like the 4 week stretch of the Dolphins, Browns, Falcons, and Raiders. The fantasy playoffs look nice too. They only have 1 divisional game in there and no games against top 10 defenses. The Broncos also have a nice draw of having their 2nd game against San Diego outside of the fantasy season in week 17.

I always like watching the Broncos play myself. They are constantly in the mix year in and year out. Sometimes they output, sometimes they are put out. It nice to see that the schedule is somewhat favorable this year.

All the AFC teams have decent schedules because only the Chargers bring big D and they get to play the AFC East with the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets.
