Freddie Swain - Catches one pass in loss Swain caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact Swain caught just one pass for the second-straight week with the Broncos. The 24-year-old played a healthy number of snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, as the wideout was on the field for 50 of Denver's 67 offensive snaps. With that said, Swain should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes despite his spike in snap share, as he is low on the pecking order for receiving targets on a struggling offense. The veteran receiver should remain off the fantasy radar as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 17.

Brandon McManus - Makes two field goals McManus made both of his field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact McManus converted from 55 and 49 yards out in the contest on a day when the Broncos' offense struggled. Through 15 games, the veteran kicker has now made 26 of his 34 field-goal attempts this season. McManus could see more opportunities in scoring range in a Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs, as the two teams combined for 62 total points in Week 14.

Marlon Mack - Minimal involvement in loss Mack rushed four times for 22 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact Mack was unable to secure his lone target in the contest. With Chase Edmonds making his return from injured reserve, Mack was relegated to No. 3 running back duties Sunday. The veteran played just 10 of the Broncos' 67 offensive snaps, while Latavius Murray and Edmonds handled a near even split of playing time with 31 and 28 snaps, respectively. Mack's lack of involvement on an already struggling offense should keep him far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 17.

Randy Gregory, Oday Aboushi suspended 1 game for punches
The NFL has suspended for one game Broncos linebacker Randy Gregory and Rams offensive lineman Oday Aboushi for exchanging punches following their game on SundayDECEMBER 26, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Randy Gregory - Gets one-game suspension The NFL suspended Gregory and Rams guard Oday Aboushi one game each for their participation in a skirmish that broke out after Denver's loss on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network...
Impact Pending an appeal, it seems likely that Gregory will have to sit out of the Broncos' game at Kansas City in Week 17. If that is in fact the case, Jonathon Cooper will probably start on the edge across from Baron Browning on Sunday.

Alex Singleton - Compiles 20 tackles in loss Singleton registered 20 tackles (13 solo) in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact With the scoreboard being so lopsided, Singleton and the Denver defense spent a lot of time on the field Sunday, leading to the linebacker compiling 20 tackles in the defeat. It was the second time this season that the 29-year-old reached at least 20 tackles in a contest and he is now up to a career-high 144 stops this year. After finishing his collegiate career with Montana State in 2014, Singleton didn't make his NFL debut until 2019, but he has now clearly carved out a significant role in his first season with the Broncos.
