Broncos squander a fourth-quarter lead in Week 2 vs. the Colts as penalties, misreads and late-game decisions derail Denver’s chances. Bo Nix’s risky play near midfield produced an interception that could have sealed a field-goal opportunity; Jonathan Taylor sparked a late surge with a 68-yard run. A missed 42-yard field goal in the dome and costly penalties piled on, underscoring the need for tighter late-game discipline ahead of Week 3 against the Chargers.

Denver's 2025 start sour further after Week 2, as a late leverage penalty on a 60-yard field-goal attempt swung a tight game against Indianapolis. Payton took ownership, calling the setup ill-advised, a reminder that end-game risk and special-teams blocks can decide fantasy-relevant outcomes. The Colts capitalized on a balanced attack and a key miss by Spencer Shrader, while Jonathan Taylor remains a constant thorn for the Broncos as they brace for a tougher schedule.

Colts top Broncos in a playoff-tight AFC clash as Daniel Jones dazzles with 316 passing yards and a rushing TD, while Nick Cross and Cam Bynum anchor the secondary. Xavien Howard struggles with penalties and coverage, and Spencer Shrader irons out the kicking game until a late 60-yard try is wiped by a penalty and a game-ending 45-yard winner. Indy’s discipline must improve after a slate of penalties, with a big test coming in Tennessee.

Week 3 fantasy sleepers look legit: Wan'Dale Robinson seized big-volume downfield chances for the Giants; Russell Wilson sparked the offense with a career-best yardage night; Zach Ertz re-emerged as Washington’s trusted TE. Hunter Renfrow flashed in Carolina with two scores; Denver’s Troy Franklin pushed for steady weeks alongside Engram and Marvin Mims Jr. Nabers and St. Brown powered Week 2; smart adds for Week 3 include Ertz, Wilson, Robinson, Renfrow, Engram, Franklin, Sutton, and Bryce Young.
