Sit ’em

Who should you sit this week? Derek Esquibel has you covered on who to avoid.

Case Keenum

Another week and another Case Keenum interception. Keenum still has thrown an interception in every game this season. While Keenum no longer has Chad Kelly looking over his shoulder, the pressure is still on the signal caller. The Broncos season is still undecided but we need to see more from Keenum. Projections: 200 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions.

Denver D/ST

Coming off the most impressive outing against the Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos defense should have confidence going into Sunday. The fact of the matter though is that Kansas City’s offense still has yet to be stopped. The Broncos did an impressive job the first time but this time is in Arrowhead. Projections: 27 points allowed, one turnover.

Sammy Watkins

Watkins exited the first meeting between the Broncos and Chiefs with an injury. While healthy now I still expect an average game from the fourth choice in the offense. Watkins has had a bit of a resurgence but has yet to have a monster game. The Broncos should be able to body him up. Projections: Four catches, 50 yards.
