Broncos D/ST's fantasy role in Week 10
Broncos D/ST goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent DST option for the DEN. He is rostered in 80% of leagues and actually started in 49% of them, and we rank him DST6 on our own weekly board at 3.3 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 8% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The DEN are on bye in Week 10, so there is no matchup to grade. Anyone holding him needs a one-week fill-in from the waiver wire.
How to play it
Broncos D/ST is on bye in Week 10 — replace him and revisit next week.
Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at DST.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Broncos D/ST (DEN DST), our DST6 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 3.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-six DST on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. Roster share is bleeding 7.8% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. He's still in 49% of lineups at 80% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 49% below positional par is a bench line for me. Mild on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
