The start of the 2026 NFL season is just days away, and fantasy football drafts are heating up across the country (and the world).
Going into the 2026 campaign, the Denver Broncos have several players worth drafting in fantasy football. Two late-round sleepers of note are wide receiver Pat Bryant and tight end Evan Engram. Bryant has an average draft position (ADP) of 226th overall, and he's being drafted as WR75. Engram has an ADP of 297 (TE37). Broncos fans shouldn't reach for either player, but it's easy to imagine them outperforming their ADP spots as late-round flyers.
Now, let's take a quick look at five Broncos players to target, with ADP data from FantasyPros.com.
5 Broncos to draft in fantasy football
1. WR Jaylen Waddle (ADP 48): Waddle is expected to have a big role in Denver's
offense this season, and he's currently being drafted as WR21. He drew at least 100 targets in each of the five seasons he played at least 16 games in Miami, and Waddle will likely be one of quarterback Bo Nix's new favorite targets in 2026.
2. WR Courtland Sutton (ADP 77): Can the Broncos' offense support two fantasy-relevant receivers? We're about to find out. Sutton has scored 25 touchdowns over the last three seasons and he topped 1,000 yards in each of Nix's first two years in the NFL. Sutton is now being drafted as WR33, and he could represent solid value there.
3. RB J.K. Dobbins (ADP 80): Dobbins (RB34) is a way better value at his ADP than RJ Harvey (ADP 62; RB28). Yes, Dobbins has a history of injuries, but he is the clear RB1 in Denver and he ranked among the NFL's leading rushers ten games into the 2025 season. You can draft Dobbins and stash Jonah Coleman (ADP 126; RB46) for a much better value than Harvey's current draft stock. Harvey does have upside in point-per-reception (PPR) leagues, but it's surprising how much earlier he's going off the board than the Broncos' actual starter.
4. QB Bo Nix (ADP 117): After finishing as QB7 last season, Nix is now being drafted as QB14. With so many quarterback options to choose from, you can wait a while and get great value with Nix.
5. Denver Broncos DST (ADP 146): Denver's defense led the NFL in sacks in each of the last two seasons, and they aim to break the single-season sack record this fall. If you want to draft the Broncos' defense/special teams unit, though, you might have to target them a round early because they're going off the board as DST4.
