Who Should I Start? Nik Bonitto or David Ojabo

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.

Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo (knee) suffered a partially torn ACL in Week 3 of last season, but he is expected to be a full participant at some point in training camp later this summer. The 2022 second-round pick suffered a torn Achilles in the pre-draft process leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, or he likely would've been a first-rounder. Through two NFL seasons, he has accumulated seven total tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles in just five games. Hopefully, he can stay healthy in 2024 and show what he can do as at least a situational pass-rusher.
