The Denver Broncos came out and surprised plenty when they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 5. Fans were excited about this team's potential, but much of that faded in Week 6.
Stacked up against a winless New York Jets team in London, the Broncos struggled to get anything going. The offense was stagnant, but luckily, the defense came up big, holding Justin Fields to only 45 yards through the air and limiting Breece Hall to only 59 yards on 22 touches.
Denver ended up winning the game by a score of 13-11. Their record improved to 4-2 in the young season, but if they want to continue to stack wins, they must address some issues on offense.
Pro Bowl TE emerges as top trade candidate to help bolster Broncos offense
One area in which the Broncos could improve would be at tight end. Their primary targets at the position are Evan Engram and Adam Trautman, who combined for five catches and 42 yards in Week 6's victory over the Jets.
Some teams have started the season poorly and could be looking to trade away some star players. PFF's Bradley Locker points to the Cleveland Browns and David Njoku, who could be a great fit in Denver.
"For as ferocious as the Browns' defense looks this year, the team sits at 1-5 and ranks 30th in the PFF Power Rankings. Cleveland has also deployed rookie Harold Fannin Jr. at an increasing rate, with the Bowling Green product playing just 42 fewer snaps than Njoku. With Njoku in a contract year, teams like the Chargers and Broncos – who rank 31st and 25th in overall PFF grade at tight end this year, respectively – would be intrigued."
However, it would benefit the Broncos to wait and see the status of Njoku's injury before thinking about a potential trade. He had to leave Week 6's matchup early after injuring his knee.
