Analytics: Denver averages 22.7 points per game. The defense allowed 300 passing yards to Justin Herbert but kept the Chargers to 23 points. Denver’s offensive line surrendered only one sack.

Injuries: No major injuries were reported for the Broncos.

Betting: The Chargers were 2.5-point favorites and won by three, meaning Los Angeles covered the spread. The 43 total points came in just under the 45.5-point over/under.

Fantasy: J.K. Dobbins looked explosive with 83 yards and a touchdown; he’s an RB2. Courtland Sutton’s 118 yards and a score reassert him as Denver’s top receiver. Bo Nix remains a superflex play only.
