Following the Denver Broncos‘ 34-14 win over the New Orleans Saints last week, the NFL informed the team on Wednesday that outside linebacker Wesley Woodyard has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Additionally, the offensive line has received the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award for Week 8.
Against the Saints, Woodyard became just the ninth player since sacks began to be tracked in 1982 to record at least 10 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in the same game. Meanwhile, the offensive line allowed zero sacks and helped running back Willis McGahee rush for 122 yards and a score.
Quarterback Peyton Manning is also in the voting to be named the FedEx Air Player of the Week. Fans can vote for Manning at NFL.com/FedEx.
On the team’s injury front, the entire roster was on the field for practice Wednesday morning, including cornerback Tracy Porter (illness). With a Week 9 match against the Bengals on deck, the ...

Woodyard enjoying a breakout season for Broncos
Wesley Woodyard has no intention of slipping back into a substitute role when D.J. Williams returns from his nine-game, NFL-mandated banishment next month.
The Broncos have no plans of letting him off the field, either. He's the first Denver defender to record 50 tackles with multiple sacks (three) and interceptions (two) before the midway point of the season.

For those who thought Peyton Manning was finished as an NFL Quarterback, think again. The 36-year-old quarterback is the highest rated Q.B. in the NFL right now this season. Manning’s rating of 109.0 tops the list as he leads his Denver Broncos to some wins. Manning has already passed for 2,113 yards this season and we are only half way through the year.

Relevant!
So Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas dressed up as a replacement referee for Halloween, and somehow I’m not the least bit impressed. The NFL just finished up week 8 and the replacement officials haven’t been seen or heard from since week 3, which makes this costume rather lame. Now, had he worn the outfit and added a Home Depot apron or something, then maybe Thomas would...

Anyone who pays attention to sports had to know that replacement referee costumes would be popular this Halloween. However, you would have to be pretty bold to be an NFL star and go down that road, but Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas clearly had no problem doing that recently. As you can see from the photo above that Peter Burns shared with us on Twitter, Thomas went with...

In the days leading up to the week 8 contests I posted an article deriding a fantasy analyst who suggested that a fantasy GM simply could not start Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks at the same time because they both played for the Giants. As it turns out, both players turned in duds but the moral is that the fact that one fantasy owner starts them both, shouldn't matter.
