Broncos CBs Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss each left Sunday's loss to the 49ers with an injury. Surtain's ankle is expected to keep him out "about two weeks," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Testing on Moss has determined that he didn't fracture his rib and that the injury is "not long term," according to Mike Klis of KUSA-TV. It's not yet clear how long he'll be out, though.

"Not long term" seems to indicate they expect Moss to at least miss a little short-term time, so expect to go without him in IDP lineups as we plan for Week 5.
Denver missing it's top two corners certainly damages the coverage. Fortunately for the Broncos, they're facing a Chargers offense that has played approximately one good half of football through four weeks. And that team might be missing WR Ladd McConkey.
Don't expect big boosts for L.A. receivers this week. We'll see about the CBs' health beyond that.
Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine are expected to fill in and could each be options for CB-required slots in deeper IDP leagues.
