TE4: Andrew Beck
Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur doesn’t use a fullback often but when he does, Beck can fill that role. He’s also a serviceable TE who was healthy for all 16 games last season.
TE5: Jeff Heuerman
Heuerman could beat out Beck for the last tight end spot if Denver doesn’t see any value in having a (type of) fullback on the roster. Heuerman has never been healthy for a full season though and his time with the Broncos might come to an end this summer.
TE6: Jake Butt
Butt has always had great potential but he is yet to prove he is able to stay healthy. With a strong showing in training camp and preseason, Butt could earn a spot on the roster (but we’re not optimistic that’s going to happen).
TE7: Troy Fumagalli
A former fifth-round pick, Fumagalli will face long odds in a crowded tight end competition. His health concerns hurt his chances of making the team.
TE8: Austin Fort
Fort is unlikely to make the 53-man roster but he will be a strong candidate to make the team’s practice squad.
