Albert Okwuegbunam

Overall, a large body tight end who is used frequently in the run game. While he's able to hold his own, he doesn't dominate in run reps and will frequently get worked over by smaller, shiftier defenders. Lacks elite movability for his size. May be larger than listed weight and may be caught between being a tight end and offensive lineman. Able to make contested catches in tight windows, but lacks any ability after the catch. Most likely a later round NFL draft pick that may require a team being patient while he loses weight and gains fluidity in and out of his routes. The rest is there, but needs to gain some level of explosiveness to create separation at the NFL level.

Albert Okwuegbunam (torn ACL) out for the season

Albert Okwuegbunam suffered a torn ACL in Week 9 vs. the Falcons and will miss the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Tough blow for Albert O., who had been coming onto the scene of late for the Broncos. With Okwuegbunam now sidelined for the remainder of the season, expect Noah Fant to remain very busy as the feature tight end going forward.
