Denver Broncos

After a season ending with a tough loss to the Patriots, the Broncos looked to bounce back even stronger. As long as they have Peyton Manning and a solid defense, the Broncos should always be considered contenders.

QB: Two-words: Peyton Manning. This future hall of famer is only getting older , so his window shrinks slightly every year. With that being said, Manning is still one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL.

HB: Chris Anderson will more than likely be the number 1 running back. Anderson rushed for over 800 yards and 8 touchdowns last year. His numbers could increase. Behind him is a solid back in Monte Ball. The Broncos will try to at least establish a run game in order to make the passing game better.

WR: Beast DeMaryius Thomas is the go-to guy for the Broncos. Thomas had over 1,600 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Expect another big year for one of the best receivers in the league. Opposite side of him is Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders will more than likely be a 1,000 yard receiver just for being in a Peyton Manning offense. Last season, the speedy receiver had nearly 1,500 yard and 9 touchdowns.

Offense: Between Thomas, Sanders, and TE Owen Daniels, this offense should remain fluent. As long as health prevails, the Broncos should have no problem producing offense.

DL: This defensive line is a bit young and inexperienced. They had a combined 4.5 sacks last season. With that being said, this year they have a chance to really prove themselves. With the backing of the linebackers, they can be solid.

LB: Having experienced backs such as DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller always helps, especially with the way Miller plays. Middle linebacker Brandon Marshall had over 100 tackles this past season. Between these three alone, the Broncos have one of the most talented linebacking core in the NFL. Look for them to continue to be disruptive.

DB: Led by shutdown corner Chris Harris Jr., this secondary is one of the top in the league. There is a reason why the Broncos had the number 2 ranked defense in the league last season. Opposite side is corner Aqib Talib, who is also very solid. Look for a  repeat performance of tight coverage from the Broncos this season.

Defense: Their defense is good from top to bottom. They will keep alot of teams from scoring too many points. In addition to games, it helps to practice against such a good offense on a daily basis.
