Ranking Denver Broncos tight ends and running backs among AFC West
Where do Denver Broncos tight ends and running backs rank?
1. Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders might have the deepest stable of running backs in the NFL. They’re highlighted by Josh Jacobs, a former first-round pick, along with Kenyan Drake, Ameer Abdullah, and Brandon Bolden.
They’ve got players who have all shown, whether over a season or several games, the ability to be a competent running back.
These players will be more complementary to their passing attack, which will feature Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, and their star tight end, Darren Waller.
Waller is a hyper-athletic specimen who broke onto the scene in 2019 with over 1,100 receiving yards.
His 6’6″, 256-pound frame creates a mismatch for anyone in the secondary, and he’s got great speed to get away from both linebackers and defensive backs.
Waller only appeared in 11 games in 2021 but is set to be healthy for 2022. Waller is a high floor/high ceiling player, while the Raiders’ rock-solid stable of running backs is a high floor/low ceiling unit.
This combination gives the Raiders the best RB and TE unit in the AFC West for 2022.
