The Denver Broncos already finished 2024 as the top fantasy D/ST, leading the second-place Minnesota Vikings by 12 points. They were also in the top-10 overall defenses in the league last season, fantasy aside.

Led by All-World cornerback, Patrick Surtain II, the Denver D is poised to match — or maybe even surpass — their 2024 stats. After all, they've already added to their potent secondary in the draft, with some already talking about another "No-Fly Zone" for the Broncos.
