ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt looks fully recovered from the serious knee injury that ruined his rookie campaign in 2017. He has a modest six receptions for 77 yards over Denver’s opening pair of contests, but what is encouraging is that quarterback Case Keenum is noticing Butt over the middle more and more. The future of Denver’s unsettled offense is as murky as a polluted fish pond.
Keenum has been inconsistent, Demaryius Thomas is getting like Brandon Marshall with the dropped passes, and the running back rotation is still undefined even though Phillip Lindsay has been the best back in the early going. Butt will never win any running races, but he could become a dependable chain mover ala Indianapolis’ Jack Doyle if he keeps improving, develops more chemistry with Keenum as the year wears on and becomes a larger part of Denver’s work-in-progress offense.
