Broncos: OLB Jonathon Cooper. Denver needs somebody to speed up Jordan Love and ruffle his feathers in the pocket, and Cooper’s due for a big game, as he hasn’t recorded a sack in his past three games.

Packers: S Xavier McKinney. Here’s one of the NFL’s best safeties this year in coverage, as McKinney’s allowed just a 43.4 quarterback rating on 23 targets to the nearest defender in coverage this season, according to Next Gen Stats. It’s unlikely Nix stares down McKinney’s area of the field heavily on Sunday, and that could shape Denver’s offensive approach against Green Bay.
