Fant, Albert O, Vannett, Beck.
I’m thinking Fant and Albert O will be the receiving TEs (obviously) with Beck and Vannett taking the blocking roles. I expect to see a bit more of Beck than Vannett just because he’s more of a utility player.
I personally like Beck a lot. I really liked what I saw out of him last year. Still, with all of the offensive additions, there will only be so many receptions to divvy out.
We’ll see how it all shakes down.sigpic

If I am understanding the changes there will be not just an expanded roster but more ability to move players between the active roster, inactive, and practice squads from week to week. Also some protections of your practice squad players not so easily picked up by other teams.
Heard it being discussed by a couple local sports radio hosts. Pondering how it would be similar to MLB or NBA "bringing up a player" for a coulple games then assigning them back to the minors or G-League. Not positive if it was approved for the NFL season or still being discussed. But I like the concept if it has not been approved for the season.
Normal IR assignments just don't make sense in this uncertain climate.
If the team can have that kind of flexibility and protection I could see a 5th TE being kept. Under normal years, only 4 would be kept IMO. Going to be interesting to see how many unexpected or longshot players actually make the team without pre=season games. At multiple positions not just TE. But in this case, can Fumagalli, Fort or Butt earn a spot in limited practices?

There are some interesting options in that TE group.
I am excited to see if Fant and Albert O can be in together. Both mismatchs for opposing defenses and big play ability. Broncos can create a lot of pressure and opportunities with the WRs and those two on the field.
Vannett has the reputation as a good blocker that can catch. Potentially valuable to help the OTs if either struggle or in the run game. Beck similar rep but has the mobility to be in as a FB if needed.
