What they're saying

"
A short week in Denver greets Stafford, who ranks 17th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 3 rankings despite a 327 yard, four touchdown dismantling of the Giants in which Davante Adams caught eight of 10 targets for 195 yards and two scores. This matchup is obviously more difficult, with Puka Nacua likely limited at best and the Broncos coming off holding Trevor Lawrence to 17-of-29 for 189 yards and an interception.
