Denver Broncos: 5 players who must step up vs. Chiefs
Duke Dawson, CB
Chris Harris Jr. is going to do his thing as the primary matchup player against Tyreek Hill. The Broncos are likely going to double-team Hill often in this game, which means the Chiefs are going to be looking for opportunities to feature Travis Kelce in the passing game along with Mecole Hardman and other secondary players.
Duke Dawson is coming back after a strong start to his 2019 season with the Broncos was derailed by a foot injury he suffered in practice last week.
He showed he can stick with his guy from the slot position and made a tremendous impression against Dede Westbrook a couple of weeks ago, then again when the Broncos took on the Chargers.
Whether Dawson is matched up with someone like Kelce or Hardman, he’s going to have to be able to be both physical and fast all game.
