Denver's blueprint for a championship run hinges on Bo Nix at quarterback, a stout defense, and dominant lines, all backed by ownership that funds stability and growth. Payton spotlights the trio of quarterback, line play, and ownership as the core ingredients that give the Broncos a real chance to compete this season.

Off the field, the Walton-Penner group has poured into a new HQ, facility upgrades, stadium talks, and a slate of extensions, creating an environment that frees resources and appeals to free agents. For fantasy managers, Nix's ceiling, plus Engram and Trautman as TE options, emerge as potential value with Denver's improved offensive balance and a fortified defense lifting overall team production.

In short, a stabilized culture, improved infrastructure, and a high-ceiling QB could lift multiple Broncos players in fantasy, especially if the offense unlocks more red-zone looks and sustainable drive efficiency.
