Derek Wolfe Fantasy

Denver Broncos defense tackle Derek Wolfe (neck) is expected to return in 2018 after undergoing neck surgery. "Sounds like he is doing really well. He's happy with the surgery so far," general manager John Elway said. He added: "That is another one we plan on going forward with." Wolfe played in just 11 games last year due to his neck issues, recording a combined 31 tackles and two sacks. A healthy Wolfe will go a long way towards beefing up Denver's run-stopping defense.

Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe (neck) underwent offseason surgery to fix a nerve issue in his neck that had been bothering him for two years, and he said he feels much better. The foraminotomy surgery completely took away the nerve pain that caused him to miss two games in 2016 and the final five contests in 2017. "I can turn my head like an owl,'' Wolfe said Wednesday in an interview with 9NEWS. "It's crazy. I can look all the way behind me. It's insane.'' Wolfe is back to working out and is using 120-pound dumbbells on the overhead press. He's hoping to have another big year in 2018 now that he's healthy. In 11 games in 2017, Wolfe recorded 18 total tackles and only two sacks, but he's key in boosting Denver's run-stopping defense when he's healthy.

Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe (neck) was placed on the injured reserve which will end his season. After several opinions, the message Wolfe received was that his injury needed rest. With the end of the season so close and no hope of the playoffs, Denver had little reason to ask Wolfe to push his recovery. He still could be a strong player in the future. The Denver DEF/ST is still a talented one. The matchup against the Jets in Week 14 is a mediocre one so it depends on who your other options are. The Week 15 matchup with Indianapolis is a much better one.
