The Denver Broncos secured a 26-21 road victory over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on November 8, keeping them in first place in the AFC West division as they enter their bye week. This post-game stock report evaluates the active roster to identify which Denver players saw their stock rise – and which saw it fall – based on their individual performances against Carolina.
Stock Up
Bo Nix Nix turned in an efficient performance, completing 25-of-37 passes for 237 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. While a common perspective early this year framed him as a conservative game manager, the data from this matchup paints a different picture – his 67.6 percent completion rate and 237 passing yards both comfortably exceeded his baselines of 59.6 percent and 186.6 yards per game across his first eight contests. Nix generated 17 passing first downs and recorded a 91.8 passer rating, surpassing his season average of 83.6. He distributed the ball effectively to nine different targets and threw two touchdown passes, including a 26-yard score to Pat Bryant, pushing past his average of 1.1 passing touchdowns per game.
Jonah Coleman With running backs RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie ruled out prior to the game, Coleman took on a heavier workload and produced steady results. He carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards and one touchdown while adding four receptions on four targets for 31 yards. The assumption when a backfield loses pieces is that the ground game will struggle, but Coleman capitalized on the opportunity – his 21 total touches for 88 scrimmage yards easily eclipsed his season averages of 9.8 touches and 57.8 yards per game. He moved the chains efficiently with two rushing first downs and two receiving first downs. Coleman also handled three red-zone rushing attempts, converting one for a score, and collected 38 yards after the catch.
Nik Bonitto Bonitto provided consistent disruption on the edge for the Denver defense, finishing the game with two solo tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss and one quarterback hit. His most significant sequence occurred when he forced a Bryce Young fumble and recovered it on the same play to effectively ice the game. Bonitto’s ability to create a takeaway and produce negative plays was central to limiting the Carolina offense. His two tackles for loss tied Ja’Quan McMillian for the highest total among Denver defenders in the win.
Stock Down
J.K. Dobbins Despite the injury-related absences of Harvey and Badie in the Denver backfield, Dobbins saw a reduced role against the Panthers. Entering the game averaging 11.8 rushing attempts and 12.8 total touches per game, he received just four carries for 18 yards and one reception on one target for four yards. Usually, a depleted depth chart forces remaining players into larger roles, yet Dobbins experienced a noticeable drop from his season baseline—he was out-touched by Coleman 21 to five. Dobbins managed 4.5 yards per carry and recorded one rushing first down and one red-zone rushing attempt, but his limited usage restricted his overall impact.
Marvin Mims Jr. Mims struggled to establish a consistent presence in the Denver offense, finishing with one reception for zero yards on two targets. He added one rushing attempt for five yards, giving him five total scrimmage yards on two offensive touches. As a punt returner, Mims recorded three returns for 22 yards (7.3 average yards per return) with a longest return of 11 yards. While he participated on special teams, his inability to generate positive yardage in the passing game – recording zero receiving first downs and negative air yards on his lone catch – resulted in a muted offensive output.
The increased usage and efficiency from Nix and Coleman on offense, combined with Bonitto’s disruptive defensive sequences, provided the necessary production for Denver to secure the road victory. Conversely, the quiet outings from Dobbins and Mims reflected a consolidation of touches among the top contributors in the 26-21 win over Carolina.
