Because of an extremely inconsistent Denver Broncos offense last year, kicker Brandon McManus finished tied for 17th in overall fantasy points in standard scoring at his position.

Melvin Gordon III Hoping To Remain Involved
Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III might be the most hated player in fantasy football, at least by managers that have Javonte Williams rostered.
