Denver Broncos
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bonitto had a stellar 2024 campaign, finishing his third season with career highs in total tackles (48) and sacks (13.5). The 25-year-old also scored his first two touchdowns of his young career last season. A rising defensive star in the league, Bonitto is coming off a Pro Bowl and All-Pro season and is heading into a contract year in 2025. The Broncos will likely do their best to retain the linebacker, as he has the skill set to be a true game-changer for the team's defense for years to come. Read Past Outlooks

October 14, 2025
Bonitto tallied six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos took down Justin Fields for nine sacks during Sunday's victory in London, England. Bonitto split sacks with Zach Allen in the second and fourth quarters, which extended his sack streak to four games. Bonitto is up to a league-leading 8.0 sacks through six games and is well on pace to surpass his total from 2024 (13.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games).

Selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Bonitto enters his rookie season coming off a solid year at Oklahoma, in which he totaled seven sacks and 15 tackles for loss in 12 games. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder is an athletic edge rusher with a chance to make an immediate impact in what projects to be a formidable defense in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On award watchlist
LBDenver Broncos
October 8, 2025
Bonitto is earning consideration to win the Defensive Player of the Year award, Dan Graziano of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Bonitto finished ninth in voting for the award last season and has followed that up by recording seven sacks and 17 total tackles across Denver's first five games. He'll draw some favorable matchups against the Jets' and Giants' shaky offensive lines in the next few weeks, so he will almost certainly be able to add to his total. Graziano also notes that team success will play a role in the voters' minds, and Bonitto will be aided if Denver is able to wrestle the AFC West division title from the Chiefs and Chargers.
