Noah Fant (Broncos)

Fant is the best receiving tight end produced by the 2019 NFL draft and he ended up on a roster in need of a seam-busting weapon in the passing game. He doesn’t have as high-end of a quarterback throwing to him like his college teammate T.J. Hockenson does, but Joe Flacco is a grizzled veteran who is good enough to make Fant a top-12 option at the position.

Yes, Fant is going to produce starting-quality numbers, in part because the bottom half of the top-12 tight ends simply isn’t strong. But he’s gifted and talented enough in his own right to emerge as a top-10 player at the position this season.
