Following the Denver Broncos‘ impressive 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, Pro Football Focus has released grades for each player.
PFF grades players on a 0 (worst) to 100 (best) scale. Check out the best and worst of Week 5 below.
Best Offensive Players
- OT Garett Bolles: 79.5
- RB Javonte Williams: 78.6
- WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey: 70.2
- WR Marvin Mims: 68.9
- TE Adam Trautman: 68.5
Williams had another productive game after impressing last week. Quarterback Bo Nix (66.5) received the seventh-best grade on offense.
Best Defensive Players
- CB Pat Surtain: 92.0
- DL D.J. Jones: 84.3
- DL Malcolm Roach: 80.8
- CB Riley Moss: 80.1
- OLB Jonathon Cooper: 74.3
No surprise that Surtain was the team’s best-graded player after he grabbed two interceptions, including a 100-yard pick-six. Moss also recorded his first career interception and Denver’s defensive line dominated up front.
Worst Offensive Players
- TE/FB Nate Adkins: 44.7
- C Alex Forsyth: 48.0
- TE Lucas Krull: 53.1
- WR Troy Franklin: 54.8
- FB Michael Burton: 58.8
PFF clearly didn’t like the performance of the fullbacks on Sunday. Franklin ending up near the bottom of the list isn’t a surprise after he dropped what would have been a touchdown.
Worst Defensive Players
- OLB Dondrea Tillman: 44.1
- DL Jordan Jackson: 49.4
- OLB Jonah Elliss: 52.1
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 53.3
- DB P.J. Locke: 54.7
Locke was likely dinged for failing to break up a pass on what ended up being a Brock Bowers touchdown to give the Raiders an early 7-0 lead. He bounced back after that.
Special Teams
- ST Levelle Bailey: 73.4
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: 65.4
- R Marvin Mims: 61.6
- K Wil Lutz: 64.4 (FG) 60.0 (KO)
- P Riley Dixon: 73.5
