Noah Fant

The Broncos saw Noah Fant come into his own towards the end of the 2019 season. Fant, a physical specimen began to gain confidence after a tough start to the season.

Fant showed that he is a play-maker with the ball as he brought in 562 receiving yards to rank sixth and his 8.9 YPT.

Look for an uptick in production as Fant gets featured more by offensive coordinator Pat Shurmer. Shurmur’s offense utilizes the tight end position in a variety of ways in the passing game.

  • Pass Rec – 62
  • Rec Yards – 710
  • Rec TD – 5
  • Fumbles – 1

Nick Vannett

Nick Vannett was brought in to block in complement to Fant’s receiving ability. I assume his production will be pretty low this year barring injuries.

  • Pass Rec – 10
  • Rec Yards – 80
  • Rec TD – 0
  • Fumbles – 0

Albert Okwuegbunam

Albert Okwuegbuman has quiet the connection with Drew Lock from their time at Missouri, however, his impact may not be realized this year as he gains more experience in the pro game. Look for Okwuegbunam’s real production to be realized in 2021 and beyond.

  • Pass Rec – 8
  • Rec Yards – 60
  • Rec TD – 1
  • Fumbles – 0
