With one more catch, Denver Broncos TE Joel Dreessen will have 40 for the season, and the Broncos would have five players with at least 40 receptions this season. The Broncos have never had a season when five players finished with at least 40 receptions.

Denver Broncos tight ends have caught 64 passes this season, already more than in any season since 2008. TE Jacob Tamme has 34 receptions for 312 yards and a touchdown, while TE Joel Dreessen has 27 catches for 250 and four touchdowns. Tamme and Dreessen both run well, allowing either to also set up as a slot receiver, or even occasionally as a wideout. 'Dreessen and Tamme can play (multiple positions), and that's a big part of our offense,' QB Peyton Manning said. 'In certain progressions, those guys are the first read. Coach (Mike) McCoy's done a good job of utilizing those guys, trying to get those guys in (favorable) matchups. Mike tries to move those guys around.'

Fantasy Impact: Both of these tight ends are going to be hit or miss some weeks as they aren't sure things in this offense.
