Denver Broncos
AFC West
The Broncos D/ST allowed six points on 226 yards with one interceptions and three sacks on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: The Broncos were able to pressure Kirk Cousins all afternoon. The offense getting off to a big lead early also left Atlanta one-dimensional. They should be a strong play against the Raiders again next week.

Denver Broncos CB Pat Surtain II returned to full participation in practice on Wednesday as he returns from a concussion. (Source: Denver Broncos on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: After being ruled out of Week 7's Thursday night win, a return was expected for Surtain barring any unexpected setbacks given his extended time to recover. The Broncos are set to face off with the Carolina Panthers, and Surtain will likely draw plenty of matchups with a banged-up Diontae Johnson, who has lined up out wide on 82% of his snaps and will potentially be catching passes from QB Bryce Young.

Lucas Krull caught three passes for41 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact: Krull had an okay showing on Thursday night. He totaled 41 yards in a big win over the Saints, and while he didn't have a big night as a fantasy option, he was pretty important to the team in real life. Still, he doesn't carry much in terms of fantasy value moving forward.
