Evan Engram Drawing Ample Targets Early in Training Camp
Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports that Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram is having a day in training camp practice on Friday, as he's been targeted multiple times with multiple catches during team drills, including a 50-yard bomb from quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Stevens adds that Davis Webb as the team's new play-caller "seems to be benefiting him a ton." Stevens added that Engram can "definitely" be a big part of the offense this year. The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that Engram has been "the standout" during the team's first 11-on-11 period in camp. The 31-year-old veteran TE also had a strong showing during mandatory minicamp last month, perhaps setting himself up to be a sleeper at the position in fantasy football drafts in 2026. Engram was a disappointment last year in his first year in Denver after head coach Sean Payton talked him up all offseason, ultimately finishing with a 50-461-1 line in 16 regular-season games. The Broncos have receiver Jaylen Waddle now, though, which could totally transform their offense and open up space for Engram to operate. RotoBaller has Engram ranked as only the TE34, but if he continues to impress during camp and gain the trust of Webb as a play-caller, his ADP could rise quickly as a TE2

Davis Webb will play key role in the Broncos taking the next step
The biggest change for the Denver Broncos this season is who calls the plays on offense. When Broncos head coach Sean Payton decided to give play-calling duties to Davis Webb in February, that was surprising as well. It’s not easy to relinquish something when you’re really good at it, and that’s what Payton has been as an offensive playcaller over the course of his coaching career in the NFL. But it also speaks to the trust that Payton has in Webb to take on that role. One of the looming questions will be what the Broncos offense looks like with Webb as the playcaller. After a minicamp practice in June, Payton was asked if the offense would be his or Webb’s. “It’s the Broncos’ (offense). I said this at the beginning, and I mean it. I’m fully supportive of wanting us to be successful because when you get older, you just want to win. You always want to win, but you recognize maybe some of the things, maybe mistakes that you made when you were younger, where you paid too much attention to other things. “The same, it’s our defense. That has to be the approach. The independent one side of the ball, this side … That’s not us, and it won’t be because in order to play real good defense, there are certain things you have to do offensively. That complementary football had a lot to do with how we ended up with a lot of wins a year ago. So we’ll be mindful of all of it.” Tied to that is Webb’s offensive philosophy. What he’ll do differently and what he’ll do the same will be interesting to see over the course of training camp, the preseason, and then the regular season. “I think all of us, sometimes, we can’t control who our influences are,” Payton said to the media after minicamp practice. “Sometimes we can. My first job (was) in Philadelphia as an assistant. It wasn’t like I was choosing. He’s been around some real good offenses, sharp minds. So you take those things that you think are important. Then collectively, we put it out as our offense. “The key is, ‘What does it fit with our people?’ I think he’s good at that. He understands that. It moves with the personnel that moves in and out of it. It moves with (QB) Bo Nix, ‘What does he do well?’ It moves with the pieces of the players that are in there. So I think that’s most important.” In the end, it all comes down to Nix. What Webb does to play off Nix’s strengths and how he best sets the offense up to succeed are paramount to Denver’s success this season. The addition of offensive playmaker Jaylen Waddle will play a huge part in this offense. Remember, Webb made the comparison of Nix getting Waddle to Josh Allen getting Stefon Diggs . But getting more consistent in the running game will also play a big role. The good news is that Nix and Webb have a strong relationship to build upon. “Obviously, it’ll be his first time, but he’s prepped and has been waiting for this day for a long time,” Nix said to the media about Webb. “This is his first opportunity, so he has to make the most of it, and he knows that, and he’s working really hard. He’s had a really successful grind this offseason, just really taking what we have (and asking), ‘How can we grow it, how can we make it a little bit more suitable for where we are now?’ ‘How can we make it so he enjoys calling it and comfortable for him?’ “Then, at the end of the day, how can he teach me to go out there and execute it and perform? We think similarly, so that’s going to be the fun part as we go. I’m really excited to have him. It allows Coach Payton to be relieved of those duties, be able to go and do other things, like really critique the defense, really critique special teams, really look at offensive line and defensive line, really look at the trenches, look at the skill, and evaluate a little bit more because his time’s not filled having to game plan or all that kind of stuff. So I think it’s just a good weapon for us to have, and I think it’s going to help us.” This will also change Nix’s relationship with Payton. The m [... truncated ...]

AFC West win totals: Doubt the Broncos at your own risk; bounce back for Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs
The AFC Championship has been decided by the AFC West for the last eight years. The surprise with 2025 was that it featured the Denver Broncos instead of the Kansas City Chiefs . Bo Nix and company claimed the division with a 14-3 record, while the Chiefs went 6-11 and missed the playoffs entirely. It was the worst season of the Andy Reid era. Was it an unfortunate blip in the dynasty, or a sign of things to come? The Los Angeles Chargers, on the other hand, registered their second-straight 11-win season for the first time since the LaDainian Tomlinson era, but the banged-up offensive line allowed a franchise-record 60 sacks. Justin Herbert is now 0-3 in the postseason, while the Las Vegas Raiders are still searching for some stability. This offseason may have been the one to finally get them on track. Now that the full 2026 NFL schedule is here, let's dissect the 2026 win totals for each AFC West team, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Part of me feels like the NFL world is consistently down on the Broncos. They objectively have a top-five defense, then Bo Nix is the first quarterback to win double-digit games and record 30 total touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. Literally never been done before. Nix ranks top three all-time in QB wins (24), total touchdowns (64) and passing touchdowns (54) in a quarterback's first two seasons. Some would argue that the Broncos are bound for regression, since they registered an NFL-record 12 comeback wins in 2025, but my argument is that they wouldn't need to come back against lesser opponents if they just played consistently on offense. Sean Payton stepped down as the offensive play-caller for Davis Webb , and Jaylen Waddle is now in the fold as WR1. Denver would have made the Super Bowl if Nix hadn't injured his ankle in the divisional round. I'm not bold enough to say this is their year, but the Broncos win 10 games in 2026. Verdict : Over 9.5 The Chiefs went from three straight Super Bowl appearances and seven straight AFC Championship appearances to missing the playoffs completely at 6-11. Who saw that coming? Patrick Mahomes ' offense ranked No. 20 in yards per game (320.6) and No. 21 in points per game (21.3), while the Chiefs' defense ranked in the top 10 in both categories. Over the last three seasons, Mahomes has averaged nearly 50 fewer passing yards per game than in his first five NFL seasons as a full-time starter. Kansas City splurged on the reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III , which they hope will spark the offense in more ways than one. It's been a minute since the Chiefs had a top running back. Believe it or not, Kansas City exceeded its preseason win total in 10 of 13 seasons with Andy Reid. Reid has not gone below his preseason win total in back-to-back seasons since 2012, when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles . History indicates that Over at plus money is a solid bet. Verdict : Over 10.5 When you look at what the Raiders accomplished, they certainly got better. Tyler Linderbaum broke financial records at the center position, Georgia linebackers Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker reunited, and the quarterback room is improved with Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. We know that real contenders are built through the draft, and the Raiders' class looks fantastic on paper. Second-round pick Treydan Stukes was college football's top slot corner in 2025, third-round pick Trey Zuhn III could start on the offensive line immediately if needed, and the Raiders scored steals in the fourth round with cornerback Jermod McCoy and running back Mike Washington Jr . Despite the offseason wins, there are still reasons to be pessimistic about the Raiders. I'm low on Mendoza's wide receiving corps, and the defense has to prove it can keep up with the loaded AFC West. If I'm relatively high on this division as a whole in 2026, that means the worst team in the group could struggle to reach 6-10. Especially when that team is playing a top-seven toughest schedule like the R [... truncated ...]
