Denver @ L.A. Chargers
Team Totals: Broncos 21.5, Chargers 24.5
Pro Football Focus’ worst-graded passer through two weeks, Bo Nix’s next task is cracking DC Jesse Minter’s unit that lured Geno Smith into an 0-for-12 performance with three picks on throws 10 yards deep. Averaging a league-low 1.9 yards per attempt under pressure, Nix’s QB2 status gets a slight boost for Khalil Mack’s (elbow) stint on I.R. … Sean Payton’s backfield has been stagnant with J.K. Dobbins handling 16 and 14 carries (including all six red-zone touches among this group), RJ Harvey intermittently registering 25% of the team’s RB touches, and Tyler Badie running a route on 26% of dropbacks. Los Angeles limited Kansas City’s backfield and Ashton Jeanty to a combined 21/84/0, leaving Dobbins as a touch-based RB3. Harvey is a desperate RB4/FLEX until his role fattens.
