Jake Butt erased any worry with a solid performance in a football return of nearly one year in the making. Butt said he “felt good” on 11 snaps played with two receptions for 17 yards. He took on blockers, split out as a wide receiver on some plays and showcased quick feet in route running, albeit in a small sample size.

Butt had a false alarm when he limped off the field after his first play. Butt is further down the Broncos depth chart with Fant projected as the team's TE1. But, several injuries to the tight ends and the still unknown potential of Fant present Butt an opportunity to move up.

Flacco also loves his tight ends. Enter first-round rookie Noah Fant. The Broncos have needed more production out of their tight ends for years now and Fant has the size of a power forward and speed of a point guard. He could be another favored target of Flacco.

Rookie TEs aren't usually fantasy staples, but Noah Fant is one who could make an impact on rosters in 2019. He destroyed the combine as the top performer at his position in all but three categories, and he's in a great spot in Denver to succeed from the start. The Broncos receiving corps is led by a guy coming off a major injury in Emmanuel Sanders, plus several young and inexperienced WRs who are learning along with Fant. His ADP is somewhere in the 14th round, which could be solid value if he does indeed break out.
