Bolles is the veteran left tackle under a sizable contract, part of the core protection plan that has kept Denver’s pass game competent while anchoring the edge.

Bolles bounced back from a penalty and continued to be among the league’s top tackles this season, prompting optimism for Denver's pass protection going forward.

Bolles faced early battles on the edge, with Denver’s protection and edge pressure shaping the Broncos’ late-game surge. His performance impacted run and pass attempts and the overall rhythm of Denver’s offense.

Bolles anchors the Broncos’ No.1-rated OT unit, posting an 88.1 overall grade and delivering elite pass protection that underpins Week 5 projections. His influence helps protect system-wide fantasy upside for Denver’s receivers.

Bolles is singled out as the Protector of the Quarter, the only lineman with a pass‐blocking grade above 90 through four weeks, underscoring his value to Bo Nix and the Broncos in pass protection and fantasy implications for the offense.
