It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Denver Broncos pulled off a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday evening. Following that sloppy victory, here are Denver’s best (and worst) player grades from Pro Football Focus.
Broncos best offensive players
- LT Garett Bolles: 80.2
- RG Quinn Meinerz: 78.4
- FB Adam Prentice: 75.0
- OL Calvin Throckmorton: 72.2
- LG Alex Palczewski: 70.3
- RB J.K. Dobbins: 66.1
Dobbins finished the night with 18 carries for 77 yards. The offensive line had another strong showing.
Broncos worst offensive players
- TE Marcedes Lewis: 28.6
- TE Adam Trautman: 42.8
- RB Tyler Badie: 46.9
- WR Pat Bryant: 52.5
- TE Evan Engram: 52.8
Baide is the team’s best pass-blocking running back, but if he continues to drop passes as a receiver out of the backfield, it seems fair to question if he should remain the third-down back.
Broncos best defensive players
- DL Zach Allen: 87.1
- DB Talanoa Hufanga: 83.3
- DL John Franklin-Myers: 79.3
- OLB Nik Bonitto: 74.9
- CB Kris Abrams-Draine: 72.8
Allen is having a monster season, and his disruption on the inside helps make life easier for Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper on the edge.
Broncos worst defensive grades
- DL Malcolm Roach: 39.2
- DL D.J. Jones: 48.6
- CB Riley Moss: 51.9
- CB Jahdae Barron: 52.0
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 55.6
Geno Smith finished the night with 143 passing yards, no touchdowns and one interception, but PFF clearly wasn’t impressed with the team’s cornerbacks.
Broncos special teams grades
- ST JL Skinner: 90.2
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: 52.7
- KR Michael Bandy: 61.2
- P Jeremy Crawshaw: 48.3
- K Wil Lutz: 53.9 (FG) 60.0 (KO)
Skinner’s blocked punt saved the day. Meanwhile, Crawshaw had a night to forget. To view more player grades from Week 10, visit the paid version of PFF’s website.
Up next on Denver’s schedule is a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 16.
