Who Should I Start? Nik Bonitto or Christopher Allen

Friday, October 27, 10:35 AM

Denver Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto has a poor matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 and should be sat in IDP leagues that score sacks heavily. Bonitto is leading the Broncos with 5.5 sacks. His production is extremely sack-dependent, as he has only made 16 solo tackles and nine QB hits. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, however, is one of the most-difficult quarterbacks to bring down. Mahomes has only been sacked seven times this season, fewer than any quarterback who has started six or more games, and his sack rate (2.6%) is also the lowest in the league. When they faced the Broncos two weeks ago, the Chiefs only allowed two sacks, and Bonitto did not make one. Bonitto should be sat if a capable replacement exists in Week 8.

Allen (foot) is expected to compete for a depth spot at outside linebacker ahead of the coming season, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
