Evan Engram received 3 of 5 tight end targets in the Broncos' preseason opener against Atlanta, with Lucas Krull and Justin Joly earning the other two.

Evan Engram will benefit from Jaylen Waddle's addition to the Broncos offense. Waddle's explosive playmaking ability will keep defenses honest and open things up for Engram and the rest of the Broncos' playmakers.

Engram acknowledged learning from a disappointing 2025 season where production didn't match expectations, stating he "made a lot of great plays when I had my opportunities" and is "looking forward to building on that and playing better this year." The source believes "we will see a few more plays designed for Engram this upcoming season," particularly in the red zone.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026

Bo Nix observes a shift in Engram's role in Year 2: increased emphasis on run-game blocking and strength in the box rather than the vertical passing role he filled last year.

Veteran TE is doing more blocking this year according to QB Bo Nix. HC Sean Payton praised his progress entering his second year in the offense, noting 'there's a level of confidence relative to where he's at and what he's doing.

Veteran pass catcher Evan Engram is probably safe on the roster. His good friend and former teammate Davis Webb is now the Broncos' offensive coordinator and playcaller, which may bode well for the veteran after a disappointing first season with the team. However, the source notes Engram could fit as a surprise camp cut that nobody really saw coming, though they believe it won't happen. The source's money is on Engram occupying the same role he had last season, with maybe some more emphasis on him with Webb now calling the shots.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Disappointing first year in Denver after being touted by Head Coach Sean Payton as a 'Joker' in the offseason; the source describes his 2025 season as quite forgettable and notes that instead of pursuing an outside addition, Denver opted for continuity at tight end with Adam Trautman as the main starter.
