Talanoa Hufanga set the tone in his Broncos debut, piling up a game-high 11 tackles and forcing a fumble as Denver throttled Tennessee. His range, blitz instincts, and leadership sparked a defensive surge that coaches say is contagious. The performance hints at a top-tier floor for IDP fantasy managers and a rising ceiling for Denver’s unit as the season unfolds.

Fantasy takeaway: Hufanga’s playmaking should lift defensive scoring for Denver and raise his own IDP upside, especially if he stays unleashed as a versatile chess piece in this scheme.

Wan'Dale Robinson's Week 2 status casts a shadow over Giants-Cowboys. If active, he projects as a risky WR4/Flex in full-PPR after Week 1 volume, but his ankle injury creates clear risk on a tough Dallas matchup. If sidelined, Theo Johnson would absorb more targets and Malik Nabers becomes a deeper dart throw. New York sits as 4.5-point underdogs, and the game script could push heavy volume toward the Giants' passing game against a Cowboys secondary that allowed surprising WR production last season.
