Alex Singleton - Logs eight tackles in win Singleton recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Singleton's dominant 2022 season continued, as his eight tackles Sunday brings him to 124 total tackles for the season. The Broncos' leading tackler for the year, Singleton is a top-tier IDP option based on his consistent production. The 29-year-old linebacker will look to keep things rolling when the Broncos visit the Rams in Week 16.

Josey Jewell - Tallies 10 tackles Jewell recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Jewell made 10 total tackles for the second straight week as part of the Broncos' formidable defense. In 10 games played, the veteran linebacker has the second-most tackles (106) of any Broncos' defender with 106 tackles. Jewell has recorded double-digit tackles in five of the last six games. The 27-year-old will look to continue his impressive 2022 campaign when the Broncos visit the Rams in Week 16.

Eric Tomlinson - Finds end zone in win Tomlinson caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Tomlinson was the Broncos' most productive tight end in Sunday's victory over Arizona despite playing the third most offensive snaps at the position. The 30-year-old's three targets and three receptions were his highest marks in a game this year, while his touchdown was his first of the season. On the other hand, starter Greg Dulcich was a complete nonfactor in the contest, reeling in just one of his two targets for 11 yards. Going forward, one should expect these roles to swing back in favor of Dulcich as Denver's No. 1 tight end. The rookie will look to bounce back after an underwhelming performance. Tomlinson, however, will not be a trustworthy option for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Rams in Week 16.

Dakota Allen - Lands on IR The Broncos placed Allen on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Allen missed back-to-back games while dealing with a hamstring injury before returning for Sunday's win over the Cardinals, playing 21 special-teams snaps in this contest. However, it appears this issue has continued to plague the 27-year-old, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the regular season while on IR. Allen was signed by Denver in late November to help fill in for linebacker Jonas Griffith (ankle), who has yet to return from IR.

Courtland Sutton - Could return in Week 16 Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Monday that the Broncos are "definitely hoping" Sutton (hamstring) is able to play Sunday against the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site r...

Impact Sutton, who last suited up in Week 13, didn't practice last week, but if the wideout is able to take the field in the coming days, it's possible that he could return to the lineup this weekend. Prior to his injury, Sutton had put together a 52/688/1 stat line (on 89 targets) through 12 contests.

Broncos end 5-game skid behind Rypien; Wilson set to return

Christian DiLauro - Joins Broncos Denver signed DiLauro to its 53-man roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact With Garett Bolles (leg) on the injured reserve list and Tom Compton (back) recently having sustained an injury, the Broncos saw fit to bring DiLauro on board to provide some depth on the offensive line. The 28-year-old lineman is skinny for his frame and position, and has played just one NFL game in his career.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Johnson - Catches three passes Johnson caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Johnson operated as Denver's No. 2 receiver behind Jerry Jeudy, playing 41 of the Broncos' 69 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie's 30 receiving yards were second to only Jeudy, who finished the game with 76 yards of his own. Johnson's recent bump in playing time is a result of Courtland Sutton (hamstring), KJ Hamler (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) all missing time, but his usage has not resulted in much fantasy production. Johnson will see a substantial dip in playing time once the Broncos receiving group gets healthier, but even before that happens, the 24-year old wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Rams in Week 16.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon McManus - Makes one field goal in win McManus made one of his two field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact McManus accounted for six of the Broncos' 24 points Sunday, but the veteran could have had a bigger day if not for a miss from 38 yards out at the end of the first quarter. In 14 games, the 31-year-old kicker has made 24 of his 32 field-goal attempts this season. His 75 percent field-goal percentage is his lowest mark since the 2017 season. McManus will look to have a more productive outing in Week 16 when the Broncos visit the Rams.

NFL Week 15 top plays: Raiders stun Patriots, Giants hold off Commanders, more

Here are the top plays from Sunday in Week 15 of the NFL season!

DECEMBER 19, 2022

Greg Dulcich - Disappears against Arizona Dulcich recorded one catch on two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona.

Impact Dulcich entered the game having seen eight targets in consecutive contests, and there was little reason to believe that would change with both Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) sidelined. However, Dulcich was overshadowed by several of the Broncos' peripheral pass catchers, including Eric Tomlinson and Brandon Johnson. Dulcich should have the opportunity to bounce back in Week 16, as Russell Wilson (concussion) is expected to return from a one-game absence.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marlon Mack - Finds end zone again Mack rushed five times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona. He added four receptions on four targets for 26 yards.

Impact Mack worked clearly behind Latavius Murray in the Denver backfield, recording only nine touches compared to Murray's 25. However, Mack was able to provide a few explosive plays, highlighted by a three-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a 17-yard run early in the fourth. While Mack's role remains relatively minimal, he is the clear backup running back in Denver and has scored in consecutive contests.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Rypien - Manages Denver to victory Rypien completed 21 of 26 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Rypien was filling in for the injured Russell Wilson (concussion) and managed the game effectively. He threw almost exclusively in the short areas of the field -- his longest completion went for only 19 yards -- and his lone touchdown of the game came on a three-yard touchdown toss to Eric Tomlinson midway through the fourth quarter. Wilson cleared concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's win, so it's likely that Rypien will return to a backup role for a Week 16 matchup against the Rams.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jerry Jeudy - Records seven receptions Jeudy recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona.

Impact As expected, Jeudy led Denver's receiving corps in targets, receptions and yards with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) still sidelined. Jeudy's performance was highlighted by gains of 19 and 14 yards, though he otherwise worked primarily in the short areas of the field. While he wasn't able to repeat his three-touchdown performance from Week 14, Jeudy has 17 targets and 149 yards combined across his last two games.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tom Compton - Injures back Sunday Compton exited with a back injury during Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Compton had stepped in for injured starting right guard Quinn Meinerz, who was forced out with an eye injury early in the first quarter. It's unclear if Compton returned before the end of this contest, so his activity level during practice Wednesday should provide more insight into his availability for Week 16 against the Rams.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dre'Mont Jones - Won't undergo surgery Jones said that he was placed on injured reserve to due a hip labrum injury, but he does not expect to require surgery for this issue, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Jones is expected to need at least four to six weeks to recover from this issue, which will keep him on IR for the remainder of the regular season. The 25-year-old also added that this move to IR was to allow him to rest, with Denver already eliminated from postseason contention after falling to 3-10 in Week 14. Jones had already matched his career high in sacks through 13 games this season, and he could be in line for a solid payday when he hits free agency this coming offseason.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Latavius Murray - Puts up 142 total yards Murray rushed the ball 24 times for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals. He added one reception for 12 yards.

Impact Murray recorded a season-high 24 rushing attempts and topped 100 rushing yards for the first time since Week 18 of the 2021 season. He entered Sunday's matchup having recorded only one rush of more than 20 yards, though he managed carries of 35 and 21 yards to highlight his performance in the win. Murray also chipped in his fifth touchdown of the season on a three-yard plunge late in the third quarter. While Marlon Mack has emerged as a contributor out of Denver's backfield, Murray will likely continue to see the majority of touches across the final few weeks of the campaign.

Quinn Meinerz - Won't return Sunday Meinerz (eye) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Meinerz was poked in the eye on the Broncos' first possession of the game, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. While the severity of this issue is still unclear, the second-year offensive lineman will have a full week to recover before Denver faces the Rams on Christmas Day. Expect Tom Compton to continue filling in at right guard for the time being.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quinn Meinerz - Exits versus Arizona Meinerz is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals with an eye injury.

Impact Meinerz was tended to on the field after going down with an eye injury on the opening drive of the game, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. With the starter's status now up in the air, Tom Compton has stepped in at right guard for Denver, according to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dalton Risner - Will be available vs. Cardinals Risner (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus Arizona, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact After sitting out of Denver's loss versus Kansas City in Week 14, Risner appears poised to play in Week 15. He should start at left guard Sunday and give a boost to the Brett Rypien-led Broncos offense.
