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.
