Denver Broncos DFS Spin
Denver wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler will both miss Sunday’s game against Carolina. This means Broncos pass catchers Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton, and Greg Dulcich should see a slight increase in targets against the Panthers this weekend. Sutton has been the Broncos’ best wideout all year, leading the team in catches, targets, receiving yards, and receptions of 20 yards or more.
If you need a sleeper at running back, consider Denver’s Latavius Murray. The Broncos released starting running back Melvin Gordon this week and they have three more running backs (Chase Edmonds, Javonte Williams, and Mike Boone) on injured reserve. Murray had 73 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Denver’s loss to Las Vegas last week and he should get around 15 carries against a Carolina run defense that ranks 17th in the NFL in opponent yards per rushing attempt.
Carolina Panthers DFS Spin
Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker is doubtful for Sunday’s game and Baker Mayfield hasn’t been playing very well, so Carolina has opted to insert Sam Darnold as their starting quarterback for Sunday’s tilt with Denver. Darnold will be making his first start of the season on Sunday. Last year his numbers weren’t great as he threw for 2,527 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions in 12 games. He may slightly lower the value of Carolina pass catchers like D.J. Moore and Terrace Marshall Jr. on Sunday.
For a safer DFS play, consider Carolina running back D’Onta Foreman. Foreman has run for at least 100 yards in three out of Carolina’s last five games and should see a large workload against a Denver defense that is allowing 4.7 yards per rushing attempt, a figure that ranks 26th in the NFL.
Broncos vs. Panthers Betting Trends
Carolina is 9-24 ATS in their last 33 games against teams with a losing record.
Carolina is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win.
Carolina is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following an outright win.
Denver is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against Carolina.
Broncos vs. Panthers Prediction:
Although Denver’s offense has been poor this year (32nd in the NFL in points per play), their defense has been outstanding. The Broncos rank second in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt, second in opponent points per play, fourth in opponent yards per point, and third in opponent average passer rating. I wouldn’t trust Sam Darnold against a mediocre defense, and I certainly don’t trust him against a good defense when he hasn’t even thrown a pass this year. I’ll take the Broncos as slight road favorites in this one.
