Last season, the Denver Broncos defense was a fantasy outlier, the top-scoring DST in our game by a comfortable margin.
Denver enters the 2025 season looking no less formidable, but fantasy scoring at this spot is ... well, it's weird. Driven by events that aren't easily predicted. We can make no guarantees that the premier real-life defenses will actually finish as the best units in our game, because a couple stray return TDs can dramatically alter the scoring leaderboard.
Still, Pat Surtain and friends are once again looking like the best bet at this odd roster spot.
If you don't land one of the very top DSTs, our official recommendation is that you simply stream the position throughout the season, seeking out matchups in which the opposing QB is likely to pile up pass attempts. The more dropbacks we get from a sketchy quarterback, the greater the likelihood of a big week from our fantasy D.
