Von Miller Fantasy

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle), who left the game just before halftime in the Thursday night loss to the Cleveland Browns, said he would play in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team. "I'm good. They just wouldn't let me go back in," Miller said. The injury looked pretty bad, but Miller was able to walk off the field gingerly under his own power and apparently dodged a serious injury after X-rays came back clean. We won't take his word for being a lock to return next weekend, but the fact that his injury doesn't look serious initially is about the only silver lining for the Broncos defense after they allowed third-string running back D'Ernest Johnson to rush for 146 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. They have turned the ball over just one time during their four-game losing streak and are fading from fantasy relevance very quickly.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 after injuring his left ankle just before halftime. Miller didn't exactly kill the Browns replacement right tackle in this game like he predicted, and he mustered only two tackles before leaving late in the first half when his own player was blocked into his left leg. The Broncos defense has mostly been dominated in this game by a backup quarterback and two backup running backs, and they continue to struggle to get pressure on the opposing quarterback. Miller was able to leave the field under his own power, but there's a good chance he won't be available in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team. The good news is he'll have extra time to heal up before the next game.

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) is questionable to return to the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns after injuring his left leg just before halftime. His own player got blocked into his left leg, and it didn't look pretty, but Miller was able to leave the field under his own power, but he was gingerly walking off the field very slowly. Denver's defense recorded just one sack on Browns backup quarterback Case Keenum in an ugly first half. Miller had two tackles and no sacks against a vulnerable Cleveland offensive line in the first half. The Browns took advantage of Denver's aggressiveness on defense early on to march down the field and score on their first drive. If Miller's ankle injury is serious, an already declining defense would really be in trouble.
