"The two biggest offseason changes to the Broncos ' offense figure to help tight end Evan Engram in his second year in Denver. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle's addition via trade from Miami should benefit all the pass-catchers as the speedster draws extra attention from defenses, leaving others 1-on-1, and Engram is very familiar with the team's new play-caller, former QB Davis Webb, who was a member of Engram's draft class with the New York Giants back in 2017. A second season with quarterback Bo Nix also should help Engram, who caught 50 passes for 461 yards and a touchdown, in Week 4 against Philadelphia.
