Jonah Elliss Eyes Broncos Starting Job: Survivor Read

Jun 28, 2026

Jonah Elliss pushes for a starting role in Denver

Jonah Elliss is in line for an expanded role with the Broncos. After a promising rookie season that produced 5 sacks, he spent year two as a reserve behind starters Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper. Now injuries have opened the door, giving Elliss a real chance to win a starting job on Denver's defensive front.

What it means for your survivor pick

This is a depth-chart development, not a result, so keep it in perspective. A young edge rusher stepping into a bigger role is encouraging for Denver's pass rush, but Elliss locking down a starting spot off the back of a 5-sack rookie year is a projection, not a proven outcome. For survivor purposes, the Broncos' edge group is something to monitor rather than a reason to commit a pick by itself. Lean on matchup and spread — not a single position battle — when you decide whether Denver makes your card, and check the survivor pool FAQ if you're weighing how to value defensive personnel news.
