DENVER BRONCOS
9/2/2025

Teams that start rookie No. 1 overall picks at quarterback in Week 1 road openers are 1-9. The Broncos are 1-5 in Week 1 since 2019. Sean Payton's teams tend to start slow for whatever reason. The slow starts continued in the pre-season, particularly for the offense. Injuries have been an issue for the Broncos throughout training camp and the preseason.

Tennessee Titans @ Denver Broncos

It’s all about getting out of the gate quicker and then playing consistently for Denver. They will also have some injured players (Greenlaw, Singlton…) on a play count to play it smart. Denver knows they can’t have any cold spells and that they need a win streak.

Payton: "We feel we’re strong in the trenches. We feel like we have a franchise quarterback. We like the weapons we have on offense, and we play really good defense. That’s a recipe to win a lot of games…”

Denver’s running game is very much a work in progress because of the new wide zone scheme. A focus will be to get it going in this game. QB Bo Nix and WR Courtland Sutton are pretty much on the same wave length, but it will be interesting to see what the young receivers can do. TE Evan Engram adds an element to the offense they haven’t had in Payton’s tenure. The big question is how the offensive line will perform. The defense is solid and ready to go. The defensive line and the ILBs need to shut down Tennessee’s running game and force rookie QB Cam Ward to beat them. The Titans are not a pushover and won’t lay down for the Broncos. However, the Broncos superior roster should prevail. RB JK Dobbins is the key to winning this game

Orangeman’s Take

Denver should win the game handily, but they have a tendency to play down to their opponents. They have also failed to cure their slow start syndrome. This is a must win for the Broncos. Their whole season rides on being able to run the ball, stop the run and correct their problems with penalties.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
9/1/2025

The Bolts first regular season game of the year is in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday, September 5th. This report will be a preview of the upcoming games against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil.

QB: Your obvious starter is QB Justin Herbert. While HC Jim Harbaugh likes to run the ball, Herbert’s passing ability is unmistakable, and he has top 10 fantasy potential in 2025. In most leagues, Herbert will be a QB1 this coming week. Former backup QB Taylor Heinicke was released in favor of QB Trey Lance, who outplayed Heinicke in the preseason.

RB: Good news. As of this writing, RB Najee Harris (eye-NFI) has resumed practice, so it appears that he’ll be on the field come week 1. To be candid, I’m not sure what role Harris will have versus 1st round draft pick RB Omarion Hampton. Both are worth drafting and owning, but who will be the primary featured back? Only time will tell, but for now, consider both RB2s with an advantage to Harris due to his NFL experience. Either or neither could become RB1s, but for now, I’m just not sure who will get most carries. Surprisingly, RB Rocket Sanders was released in favor of RB Kimani Vidal. That’s a real headscratcher. Unsurprisingly, Sanders was immediately claimed by the Browns.

WR: The wideout to target is clearly WR Ladd McConkey who is a fantasy WR1. While WR Quentin Johnston is also listed as a starter, he’s been inconsistent, so I’d want him to show me something before I drafted him. WR Keenan Allen is getting old, but he’s probably still a WR2, but we’ll see. WR Tre’ Harris and WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith have shown flashes in preseason, but it’s a bit early to know what their role will be in the Chargers’ offense.

TE: This is a tough one. Starters shown as TE Will Dissly or TE Tyler Conklin, but the choice with the most upside is rookie TE Oronde Gadsden. Neither is worth chasing, but this is a watch and learn situation. Dissly or Gadsen are TE2s for now, with upside.

PK: The Chargers kicker is PK Cameron Dicker, and he’s very good with top 10 potential.

DEF: The Chargers’ defense has improved under DC Jesse Minter. That said, I think the KC offense is still formidable, so while I like the Bolt’s D overall, I probably wouldn’t start them this week. Good luck with your week 1 games!

End.
