Derek Wolfe Fantasy

Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe (elbow) is being placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday after dislocating his elbow in the Week 13 win over the Chargers, according to a source. Wolfe finished with a career-high seven sacks in the final year of his contract with Denver, and he's unlikely to be back with the Broncos next year. With Von Miller (knee) also ailing and missing Week 13, Denver's pass rush could be in a real bad spot in Week 14 on the road against the surging Texans. You'll obviously want to avoid their defense for that matchup.

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Derek Wolfe (elbow) set a new career high in sacks with seven in the Week 13 victory over the Chargers, but he also suffered a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a brace on his arm after the game, and trainers were able to pop his arm back into place. If nothing is torn, it will be a couple of weeks (before playing), Wolfe said. If anything is torn, Im (bleeped) and looking at a ruined (bleeping) offseason. Losing Wolfe for any stretch of time will be a loss to Denver's run-stopping abilities and pass rush. You will certainly want to avoid the Denver D in Week 14 on the road against the Texans.

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.
