Hufanga’s near-pick on Hurts highlighted Denver’s late defensive pressure and his knack for game-changing plays, underscoring his value in IDP formats and as a disruptive safety against dynamic offenses.

Hufanga’s role as a ‘first-responder’ in the Broncos’ secondary was evident in his coverage and overall play, with a calm pre-snap communication that allows the defense to play fast and aggressive while maintaining structure.

Hufanga is a high-end DB with a floor near elite tackle totals and a history of big plays. On pace for 153 tackles, he’s a rare combo of tackle volume and playmaking; Week 4 should keep him among top DB streaming options.

Hufanga is limited in practice with a chest injury but has been a productive tackler early. His Week 3 status remains uncertain, and his health could tilt Broncos’ run defense and overall defensive chemistry if he can’t go.

Hufanga’s debut in Denver showcased elite range and instincts, with 11 tackles and a forced fumble that instantly elevated the Broncos’ defensive ceiling. His play style—ball disruption paired with solid coverage—sets a new norm for the safety position in Denver.
