Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Entering the final year of the pact he signed in January 2011, Elway is now under lock and key through the 2017 campaign. With the Hall of Fame quarterback seated in the front office, the Broncos are one of just eight NFL teams to average at least 10 wins a year and one of just three to post back-to-back-to-back division titles since he took over. ... Elway has brought the winning touch to Denver and deserves full credit for luring Peyton Manning out west. The duo have since etched a 26-6 regular-season record together, with Elway and his staff adding the right amount of veteran and young talent to both sides of the ball.
