Denver Broncos: Stock report after huge Giants win

Noah Fant 

Although tight end Noah Fant did not record any wowing stats in the season opener, he had solid and consistent production and proved to be one of Teddy Bridgewater’s favorite targets on the day. Finishing the day with 6 receptions and 62 yards, Noah Fant was a big factor in why the Broncos were able to move the chains so efficiently.

In his third season with the team, young Noah Fant looks to make a splash and finally earn the respect he has been working toward. Broncos Country, seeing Fant week in and week out, knows the potential the tight end has.

If the Denver Broncos offense can keep the momentum it gained in Sunday’s win over the Giants, Fant may finally have his opportunity to establish himself as a household name and insert himself into the conversation of the league’s best tight ends in the company of guys like Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Darren Waller.

Especially in the absence of receiver Jerry Jeudy, guys like Fant, KJ Hamler, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Tim Patrick will need to step up to keep the offense on a consistent production line. Judging on the obvious chemistry displayed between Teddy Bridgewater and Noah Fant today, that should not be a problem.

Week One was just the beginning of the show Noah Fant is poised to put on in 2021. Soon, the rest of the league will take notice.
