Denver @ L.A. Chargers
Team Totals: Broncos 22.5, Chargers 19
In a battle of broken offenses, Broncos-Chargers is Week 5’s third-lowest-totaled game. … Fantasy’s QB20, Bo Nix has been a checkdown machine under first-year play-caller Davis Webb, frustratingly unwilling to pull the trigger on wide-open downfield throws. His Week 4 average depth of target (aDOT) was 4.6 yards. Also no longer running, Nix ranks 25th among QBs in rushing yards (25). … No one has benefited more from Nix’s checkdown penchant than RJ Harvey, who ranks fourth among running backs in receptions (20) and fifth in receiving yards (132). Yet Harvey hasn’t topped a 51% snap rate in any 2026 game, splitting with J.K. Dobbins and, to a lesser extent, Tyler Badie. Even with Jonah Coleman (ankle) on I.R., Webb and Sean Payton remain hellbent on a fantasy-unfriendly three-way RBBC.
