Broncos PFF grades: Best, worst players from win over Raiders

Following the Denver Broncos‘ impressive 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, 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 5 below.

Best Offensive Players 

  • OT Garett Bolles: 79.5
  • RB Javonte Williams: 78.6
  • WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey: 70.2
  • WR Marvin Mims: 68.9
  • TE Adam Trautman: 68.5

Williams had another productive game after impressing last week. Quarterback Bo Nix (66.5) received the seventh-best grade on offense.

Best Defensive Players 

  • CB Pat Surtain: 92.0
  • DL D.J. Jones: 84.3
  • DL Malcolm Roach: 80.8
  • CB Riley Moss: 80.1
  • OLB Jonathon Cooper: 74.3

No surprise that Surtain was the team’s best-graded player after he grabbed two interceptions, including a 100-yard pick-six. Moss also recorded his first career interception and Denver’s defensive line dominated up front.

Worst Offensive Players 

  • TE/FB Nate Adkins: 44.7
  • C Alex Forsyth: 48.0
  • TE Lucas Krull: 53.1
  • WR Troy Franklin: 54.8
  • FB Michael Burton: 58.8

PFF clearly didn’t like the performance of the fullbacks on Sunday. Franklin ending up near the bottom of the list isn’t a surprise after he dropped what would have been a touchdown.

Worst Defensive Players 

  • OLB Dondrea Tillman: 44.1
  • DL Jordan Jackson: 49.4
  • OLB Jonah Elliss: 52.1
  • CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 53.3
  • DB P.J. Locke: 54.7

Locke was likely dinged for failing to break up a pass on what ended up being a Brock Bowers touchdown to give the Raiders an early 7-0 lead. He bounced back after that.

Special Teams 

  • ST Levelle Bailey: 73.4
  • LS Mitchell Fraboni: 65.4
  • R Marvin Mims: 61.6
  • K Wil Lutz: 64.4 (FG) 60.0 (KO)
  • P Riley Dixon: 73.5

You can view grades for every player on the paid version of PFF’s website.
