NFL:
What is the immediate impact on Broncos’ run-blocking and interior protection without Gargiulo, and how might this influence fantasy projections for Broncos’ backfield?
Qwiket AI:
Gargiulo’s absence pressures the interior, potentially slowing interior run lanes and increasing the challenge of protecting the quarterback from interior pressure. The Broncos may lean more on outside zone schemes and quick-pitch runs to offset the loss. For fantasy, expect a slight dip in early-season run efficiency if guards fail to fill Gargiulo’s interior gap, but upgraded depth could stabilize as the season progresses.
