Following the Denver Broncos‘ 23-16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6, Pro Football Focus has released grades for each player.
PFF grades players on a 0 (worst) to 100 (best) scale. Check out the best and worst of Week 6 below.
Best Offensive Players
- WR Courtland Sutton: 85.3
- OT Matt Peart: 81.7
- G Quinn Meinerz: 81.0
- QB Bo Nix: 78.7
- G Ben Powers: 70.4
Sutton had an impressive one-handed touchdown catch and Peart filled in well at right tackle. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele (68.4) was the sixth-highest graded player on offense, followed by left tackle Garett Bolles (66.2) and running back Audric Estime (62.9).
Best Defensive Players
- CB Levi Wallace: 92.0
- DL Malcolm Roach: 87.1
- OLB Jonathon Cooper: 81.6
- DB Brandon Jones: 76.2
- OLB Jonah Elliss: 75.7
Wallace stepped up after the team lost Pat Surtain to a concussion. Meanwhile, the team’s pass rush continues to impress.
Worst Offensive Players
- RB Javonte Williams: 38.3
- TE Adam Trautman: 49.2
- TE Lucas Krull: 49.6
- WR Marvin Mims: 55.1
- C Alex Forsyth: 57.1
Williams lost a fumble and dropped a pass and Estime played well. Perhaps we’ll see more of the rookie going forward. Looking ahead to 2025, tight end will likely be a top position of need for the Broncos.
Worst Defensive Players
- OLB Nik Bonitto: 46.0
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 50.1
- LB Cody Barton: 52.4
- DB P.J. Locke: 55.5
- DL Jordan Jackson: 55.8
McMillian struggled after Surtain left the game and Locke has now had consecutive weeks ranking among the worst defenders in Denver. The Broncos will need McMillian and Locke to bounce back on Thursday.
Special Teams
- ST Kristian Welch: 84.6
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: 84.6
- R Marvin Mims: 63.1
- K Wil Lutz: 63.3 (FG) 60.0 (KO)
- P Riley Dixon: 69.4
