The opening matchup is difficult, however. The Broncos were sixth-best against fantasy RBs when adjusting for schedule. They are without EDGE Jonathan Cooper right now and lost DT2 John Franklin-Meyers this offseason, at least. Because Denver is so elite at man coverage and use it at the highest rate (45% last year), the Chiefs are encouraged to run the ball in neutral situations.

Broncos' elite run defense and man coverage create difficult Week 1 matchup.

The Broncos were sixth-best against fantasy RBs when adjusting for schedule. They are without EDGE Jonathan Cooper and lost DT2 John Franklin-Meyers this offseason. Denver's elite man coverage (45% rate last year) encourages the Chiefs to run in neutral situations, but the matchup remains difficult.
