Following the Denver Broncos‘ 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Pro Football Focus has released grades for each player’s Week 8 performance.
PFF grades players on a 0 (worst) to 100 (best) scale. Check out the best and worst of Week 8 below.
Best Offensive Players
- TE Adam Trautman: 90.0
- QB Bo Nix: 87.2
- G Quinn Meinerz: 80.9
- C Alex Forsyth: 80.3
- OT Garett Bolles: 79.4
It was a great showing for the offensive line as right tackle Mike McGlinchey (79.1) was the sixth-best player on offense. WR Courtland Sutton (72.0) was up next on offense.
Best Defensive Players
- DL John Franklin-Myers: 83.1
- CB Levin Wallace: 79.2
- DL Jordan Jackson: 74.9
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 74.5
- OLB Baron Browning: 72.1
No sacks for him, but maybe teams seeking pass-rush help will notice Browning’s performance ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline. CB Pat Surtain (70.9) was the team’s sixth-best defender.
Worst Offensive Players
- WR Troy Franklin: 39.5
- OL Calvin Throckmorton: 41.4
- TE Lucas Kull: 49.8
- WR Marvin Mims: 51.6
- WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey: 53.4
Perhaps the Broncos should consider trading for a wide receiver before the deadline.
Worst Defensive Players
- DB Tremon Smith: 39.6
- CB Riley Moss: 41.4
- DL Zach Allen: 47.5
- DL Malcolm Roach: 48.8
- DB Kevon Key: 54.0
Never mind Smith’s poor grade on defense; he’s an ace on special teams. Meanwhile, Moss and Allen posted uncharacteristically low grades.
Special Teams
- ST Tremon Smith: 71.5
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: 63.9
- R Marvin Mims: 60.5
- K Wil Lutz: 64.5 (FG) 60.0 (KO)
- P Riley Dixon: 62.6
