Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram continues to impress in his first training camp with his new team. The Broncos signed Engram last offseason after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he has wasted little time impressing his new team. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said that Engram has "met or exceeded" the high expectations the team had for him when he was signed. "He can run. He can change direction. Willing blocker. He sticks his nose in there. Complete tight end. Guy that's really been showing up in camp," Lombardi told reporters. The Broncos have been looking for a reliable tight end since Sean Payton became head coach and they appear to have found one in Engram. The veteran tight end is set up for a big year and can be confidently drafted as a low-end TE1 in all fantasy formats.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) is still working his way back from a hamstring injury at training camp and was working on a rehab field on Wednesday, according to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. A hamstring injury has kept Gesicki out of practices for the last week, and he also missed the preseason opener versus the Philadelphia Eagles last week. The 29-year-old's hamstring injury isn't believed to be all that serious, but the Bengals could hold him out of their second preseason game on Monday against the Washington Commanders as a precaution. Cincy recently signed Noah Fant for TE depth, but when healthy, Gesicki should be the primary pass-catching tight end for the Bengals. He caught 65 of 83 targets for 665 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (three starts) a year ago and is ranked as a low-end TE2 in fantasy for the upcoming season.
