What It Means:

Following Week 6's win over the New England Patriots, Lock told reporters that "being able to watch myself and watch guys other than myself, I got to learn a lot about how to be better. That's something that I took from this injury and being able to be better going forward is just watching myself a little bit closer. Whether that's technique or subtle habits that I have, just being able to critique myself a little bit better after games. And now I can go into games with a better mindset than what I had the previous week as far as how this offense goes, how we're going to roll and how I need to play as a quarterback." Lock was hardly the reason for the Broncos' success in Week 6, completing just 10 of 24 attempts for 189 yards and 2 interceptions, but it was a difficult test in his first game back. Things won't be much easier for him in Week 7, facing a Kansas City Chiefs defense ranked 9th against quarterbacks in numberFire's advanced stats. Our models project him to score 15.9 FanDuel points and he is the QB26 in our weekly rankings.

The Broncos are 9.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs in Week 7. Their implied team total of 19.5 points is the second-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
