Denver’s quarterback change from Joe Flacco to Brandon Allen has proven to be the right call as the offense has found new life. Fant has found new life as well with seven catches for 175 yards and a touchdown in the past two games combined.

The Broncos have some favorable matchups ahead for tight ends including next week against Buffalo. It should also be noted Fant was targeted heavily in the red zone on Sunday against Minnesota and two times on the final four plays inside the 10-yard line.

The tight end landscape is tricky, but the rookie first-round pick could be carving out a role with Allen under center.
