Broncos head to Philadelphia for a high-stakes Week 5 test. Bo Nix faces Vic Fangio’s defense in a venue that’s bitten Denver before, while Denver’s new two‑back look—led by J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey—gives Nix a safer path to explosive plays. Philly’s 4-0 start rides Hurts and the Tush Push, yet their secondary has surrendered big plays and their pass rush hasn’t always wowed. Nakobe Dean’s return could tilt the middle, and Payton’s coaching vs. Fangio’s schemes promises a chess match that could swing fantasy outputs for both sides.

Expect Denver to lean on the run and timely deep shots when the opportunity arises; Philadelphia will lean on Hurts’ efficiency and a stingy red zone. The game could hinge on late-game playmaking, red-zone execution, and special teams edge, with the coaching duel offering a clear blueprint for fantasy managers weighing lineup choices this Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes capped Week 4 with 4 passing TDs, 270 yards on 25-of-37, no picks, and a 124.8 rating in the Chiefs’ 37-20 win over Baltimore, earning his 11th AFC Offensive Player of the Week. A Chiefs single-season record for OPOW, the performance also places him among active leaders in the honor. AFC winners included Devin Lloyd (Jacksonville) and Marcus Jones (New England); NFC honors went to Puka Nacua (Rams), Quinyon Mitchell (Eagles), and Josh Blackwell (Bears).

These Week 4 outcomes underscore KC’s explosive offense and Mahomes’ fantasy ceiling, while the spread of awards across AFC/NFC highlights standout defensive and special-teams performances that shaped rosters and weekly projections. The mix of high-scoring offense and notable special-teams plays keeps Week 4 relevant for fantasy prep and betting models.

Josh Blackwell blocked a 54-yard game-winning field-goal attempt by Daniel Carlson to seal the Bears’ 25-24 win over the Raiders, earning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It’s his second such honor, tying Devin Hester as Bears’ only non-kickers to win multiple times, and it keeps Chicago’s momentum hot entering the bye week. Caleb Williams’ barrage of offense earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week against Dallas, while Kevin Byard’s two interceptions couldn’t snag Def PokW, as Quinyon Mitchell of Philadelphia claimed that award.

Across the league, the Bears’ back-to-back weekly honors spotlight a week of standout performances: Williams’ elite offensive showing, Mitchell’s shutdowns in the secondary, and Blackwell’s clutch special-teams heroics. For fantasy players, the mix of a game-winning block and a high-octane QB performance suggests volatility but notable upside in Chicago’s upcoming matchups and in the broader ST-driven fantasy landscape.
