Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or George Kittle

Denver Broncos wide receiver Evan Engram was already coming off a very frustrating 2025 season, and now, he could face even greater competition for targets in 2026. The Broncos made a stunning offseason trade to acquire Jaylen Waddle, giving Bo Nix a star-studded pass-catching unit that includes Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Engram. While Engram is the outlier on that list as the lone tight end, that doesn't mean he's guaranteed to have a substantial role. As the Broncos' No. 1 tight end in 2025, he was held to just 50 catches, 461 yards, and one touchdown. He finished as the overall TE29 in PPR leagues despite playing 16 games. Unless the Broncos plan to overhaul their offensive scheme this offseason, it seems unlikely that Engram will be due for increased production next year. In fact, his pass-catching volume could be scaled back even further as Waddle joins the mix and Franklin and Bryant both ascend into larger roles. Engram might have a little name value that could get you a late-round draft pick in a trade, but otherwise, it'll be tough to find any takers for him in dynasty leagues this offseason.
