Riley Moss - Registers six stops in Week 10 Moss finished Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with six tackles (four solo).
Impact Moss tied for fourth on Denver in stops in the defeat. The cornerback has been very consistent this season, tallying at least five tackles in all but two of his 10 contests. Moss played mostly on special teams as a rookie last year, but he's taken on a starting role this season and has posted 61 tackles (43 solo), an interception and a forced fumble.

P.J. Locke - Records seven stops Sunday Locke tallied seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Locke returned from a two-week absence due to a thumb injury and played all but one of Denver's defensive snaps. He finished third on the team in stops, tying his second-highest mark of the campaign. On the season, Locke has posted 44 tackles (30 solo) and two defensed passes through eight contests.

Audric Estime - Increased role on tap Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Monday that he "was encouraged" with Estime's performance against the Chiefs and that the rookie will "continue to get more reps," Aric DiLalla...
Impact After handling his largest workload of his rookie season, Estime seems to have earned a vote of confidence from Payton. It seems veteran Javonte Williams will continue to take a backseat to the 21-year-old after Williams handled just one carry against Kansas City. Though Estime has yet to be targeted in the passing game this season, his usage on the ground could result in solid fantasy production moving forward. Though fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach, the Notre Dame product could be in for a decent workload when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.

Troy Franklin - Minimal production in loss Franklin caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Franklin recorded just one catch for the third-straight contest, as the rookie has played snap percentages of 40 percent or less in that stretch. The 21-year-old has seen his usage diminish as quarterback Bo Nix has consistently spread the ball around in recent weeks. As Franklin's connection with Nix is already established from their time playing together at Oregon, the wideout should see his role improve in Denver's offense as he continues to develop in the NFL. However, barring injuries, Franklin should be difficult to trust going forward to see enough looks in the passing game to make him viable for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis. He'll look to get more involved in a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Trautman - Targeted once against Kansas City Trautman secured his lone target for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Trautman was targeted just once for the second-straight week despite continuing to operate as Denver's No. 1 tight end. The veteran played 34 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps, while Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull were on the field for 21 and 12 snaps, respectively. As has been the case for the majority of the season, Trautman is not seeing enough consistent volume to be a viable fantasy option most weeks. The 27-year-old should continue to struggle to produce fantasy relevant numbers when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Mims Jr. - Seven touches in loss Mims caught all four of his targets for 13 yards and rushed three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Mims' targets, catches and 30 total yards offensive yards were all season highs for the second-year wide receiver. Despite playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps in the contest, the 22-year-old handled seven total touches in the contest, the most of any Denver wideout. Unfortunately, Mims was unable to turn his opportunities into much fantasy relevant production. The speedster will look to take a step forward in a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons, but his limited snap share should keep him off the fantasy radar.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Barton - Nines stops in Week 10 Barton recorded nine total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Barton played 100.0 percent of Denver's defensive snaps for the sixth time in the last seven games, tying Braxton Jones for the team's leading tackler in Sunday's defeat. Barton has now recorded 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass through the Broncos' first 10 games this season. He's expected to continue making plays as the Broncos face the Falcons in Week 11.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Jones - Leading tackler in loss Jones recorded nine total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact The Texas product has now logged nine or more tackles in three of the Broncos' last five games, tying Cody Barton as the team's leading tackler in Sunday's loss. Jones has accumulated 74 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, through Denver's first 10 games this season. He's expected to remain the Broncos' top tackler in Week 11, when the Falcons travel to Denver.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathon Cooper - Logs sack vs. Kansas City Cooper recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact The 26-year-old was one of four Broncos to record a sack in Sunday's loss, bringing down Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. Cooper, who just signed to a four-year, $60 million extension Nov. 4, has now totaled 41 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and forced one fumble through the Broncos' first 10 games this season. Expect the newly paid edge rusher to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Lil'Jordan Humphrey - Two grabs in Week 10 Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more at least 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Devaughn Vele - Hits pay dirt against Chiefs Vele caught all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact After a quiet performance in Week 9, Vele had a nice bounce-back performance against Kansas City while scoring his first career touchdown. The rookie wideout's 35 offensive snaps were the most he's played in six games thus far, so it's possible the developing chemistry between him and quarterback Bo Nix could continue to lead to more playing time for Utah product. Vele will look to build off his solid performance when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Javonte Williams - One carry in loss Williams rushed once for one yard and caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Williams had an extremely quiet Sunday against Kansas City, as the fourth-year running back took a clear backseat to rookie Audric Estime as a rusher. While Williams carried the ball just once and played just 17 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps, Estime was relied upon heavily with 14 carries in the contest across his 26 snaps. It appears head coach Sean Payton's recent remarks about Estime taking on a bigger workload were more than just coachspeak, so if the rookie continues to pace the backfield in opportunities, Williams' days as a consistent fantasy contributor are likely in jeopardy. The 24-year-old will have his next opportunity to bounce back when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.

Wil Lutz - Potential game winner blocked Lutz did not convert on either of his two field-goal tries but made both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 16-14 loss at Kansas City.
Impact In a game decided by just two points, Lutz converting on just one of his field-goal attempts could have made the difference. It's hard to pin too much blame on him though, as his 60-yard try at the end of the half came up just short, and what would have been a game-winning 35-yarder at the end of the second half was blocked by Leo Chenal. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 11 versus the Falcons.
