Following a lackluster performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, the Denver Broncos will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. 

Fantasy Football managers will likely be uneasy about playing any of their Broncos players this week and that's how Broncos fans should be looking at this game as well. The offensive game plan against the Seahawks was not good and unless we see some big changes this week, most Broncos players won't be fantasy-relevant. 

Let's take a look at some of the Broncos players and where they should be slotted in your lineups this week.

Denver Broncos Week 2 Fantasy Football advice

Start: Javonte Williams, RB

I can't recommend playing many Broncos this week, especially against a notoriously tough Steelers defense, but Javonte Williams is worth starting consideration as long as the Broncos give him more work than they did in Week 1. 

With rookie Audric Estime being placed on injured reserve, the Broncos need to take a renewed approach to giving Williams more work and certainly more than last week, where it was all Jaleel McLaughlin after halftime. 

If Williams isn't featured more this week, he might never be. 

Bench: Bo Nix, QB

After having just 3.3 yards per passing attempt last week, there might not be a worse quarterback in the entire NFL to start this week than Bo Nix. It should be better (it would be hard to be worse) but it may take a good portion of the season before he's worth much in fantasy. 

Sleeper Pick: Broncos DST

When choosing a defense this week, not many people are going to consider the Steelers. But the Pittsburgh offense isn't exactly scary with Justin Fields at QB and they won their game against Atlanta last week despite kicking field goals for all of their points. 

The Broncos' defensive unit is worth some consideration. 

Deep Sleeper: Troy Franklin, WR

This would be nothing more than a desperation play in really deep leagues, but with Devaughn Vele being ruled out with a rib injury, Troy Franklin should be active and have a chance to make some plays. 

DFS Play of the Week: Greg Dulcich, TE- $2900 (DraftKings)

The Steelers allowed a TD pass to Atlanta tight end Kyle Pitts last week and for $2900, Greg Dulcich could bring some value for a low price.
