Engram and Trautman form a tight end rotation in Denver, with Engram maintaining a high snap rate but limited 11-personnel targets. This pairing yields steady volume, but Engram’s weekly ceiling remains limited unless 11-personnel usage climbs as the Broncos lean on Engram’s big-play ability.

Engram landed in Denver, aiming to be Nix’s intermediate and red-zone target. After injury‐limited 2024, he’s healthy and back to a high‐quality target floor in a retooling offense; projections place him around the TE10‐ish range with room to produce if Denver stabilizes at QB and in the slot.

Engram sparked Denver’s early surge with a 58-yard catch-and-run and a 28-yard reception, setting up a scoring run. His versatile use signals a central role in the Broncos’ high-tempo attack and a potential fantasy focal point if he maintains target share in regular-season scenarios.

Engram’s 58-yard catch and a red-zone connection underscore chemistry with Stidham and a versatile receiving profile, making Engram a potential focal point in Denver’s short-to-intermediate passing game amid depth at other positions.

Engram’s 58-yard catch-and-run showcased the value Payton envisions from Engram as a reliable mismatch weapon in Denver’s offense. The veteran tight end’s ability to gain yards after the catch could unlock more dynamic receiving sets, especially with Sutton drawing attention on the outside.
