Broncos expect Evan Engram to have a bigger role in 2026
Summary

The Denver Broncos anticipate greater production from tight end Evan Engram in 2026 after a subdued first season. Head Coach Sean Payton notes Engram is more comfortable and confident in the offense entering his second year with the team. Engram finished last season with 50 catches for 461 yards and only one touchdown, despite being a top target. Quarterback Bo Nix cites Engram’s improved blocking skills, which could enhance his contributions in both the passing and running game.
