Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram hauled in five of his seven targets for only 28 receiving yards in the 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions on the road on Sunday in Week 11. Outside of rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had five catches for a team-high 82 yards, nobody in Jacksonville's offense was able to produce much on a day where the team was held out of the end zone and quarterback Mac Jones threw for under 150 yards. The good news for the 30-year-old veteran tight end is that his seven targets and five receptions were both tied for the team lead with Thomas. He's also had three straight games with at least five catches, although it hasn't come with much yardage. Hopefully for Engram's sake, he'll be taking passes from quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) again after the Week 12 bye, which would vault him into firm TE1 range in fantasy.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is still a starting-caliber option in fantasy lineups, but with Mac Jones at quarterback, his upside is limited against the Detroit Lions. After six catches for 40 yards in Week 10 against the Vikings, unless Engram scores a touchdown, it is hard to imagine the veteran tight end having a big day. After just seven points against the Vikings, it is hard to imagine the Jaguars offense as a whole performing well. The Lions are better against the pass against the run, but it is likely the defensive line causes problems for Jones just as the Vikings line did. Engram should still be started in fantasy lineups, but he is a bit more touchdown-reliant in fantasy than usual this week against the Lions.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was a bright spot compared to the rest of the offense in a tough 12-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With Mac Jones replacing Trevor Lawrence due to injury, the offense had just 111 yards through the air. Engram managed to get 40 of those yards on six receptions, four higher than the second most on the team. Engram seems to have decent chemistry with Jones, but that won't matter much if the offense continues to struggle like on Sunday. Engram with Lawrence under center has been a top fantasy tight end while healthy, so while his upside is limited with Jones, the veteran tight end should still be viewed as a low-end TE1 if Jones continues to play. Engram will look to improve on this solid performance in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.
Nov 11, 2024 10:52 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram should still be viewed as a TE1 in Week 10 but should be slightly downgraded against the Vikings. That is due to starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence likely being out due to injury this Sunday, and Mac Jones potentially being at the helm instead. While it's possible Engram is fine with a different QB, the change would make him a riskier fantasy option than usual. Given the volatile nature of the tight end position in fantasy, managers shouldn't bench him, but expectations should be tempered slightly. He had 10 targets last week, but only caught five of them for 45 yards. That is around the level he should be at against the Vikings in what should be a similar game script. Engram is still a starting fantasy tight end but has less upside than usual in Week 10.
Nov 9, 2024 10:59 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught five of 10 targets for 45 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) sidelined, there were extra opportunities available for Jacksonville's pass-catchers. Engram ended up being the biggest benefactor, commanding double-digit targets for the second time in the last four weeks. He'll rank as a mid-to-low TE1 in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Nov 4, 2024 1:00 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is the last healthy receiving option heading into Sunday's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are questionable along with running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. Christian Kirk was ruled out for the rest of the season after last week's game, making Engram essentially the last man standing. Since returning from injury in Week 6, Engram has amassed 19 receptions and 173 yards, with most of that coming against the Chicago Bears. Engram should be more involved this week against the Eagles, making him an even better starting fantasy option as a tight end than usual. Engram is a clear TE1 option in Week 9, especially in PPR leagues given his potential for a huge target share.
Nov 2, 2024 12:07 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram saved his fantasy day with a late touchdown in a 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The veteran tight end finished with four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown, which he scored to tie the game with a minute and 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Engram was outgained by backup tight end Brenton Strange, who finished with five receptions (team-high) and 59 yards (1 off the team lead). While it is reassuring Engram caught a touchdown, he has been very up and down this season. After missing a few games, Engram returned with a 10 reception performance, but now has just nine receptions combined in the last two games. Despite that, Engram should be considered a top tight end play in fantasy in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Oct 28, 2024 9:13 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is a top tight end option in a Week 8 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The veteran tight end has been efficient since returning from injury two weeks ago, catching all 15 of his targets. After a 10-catch, 102-yard performance against the Chicago Bears, Engram came back down to Earth a bit with a five-catch, 35-yard performance against the New England Patriots. Given the volatility of the position and Engram's expectations entering the season, he should be started without hesitation this week. The Packers have been good against the pass this season but have been better against wide receivers than tight ends, meaning Engram could be in for an outing closer to his Week 6 performance than last week's performance. Engram should be viewed as a clear TE1 who should be Trevor Lawrence's go-to receiver this week.
Oct 26, 2024 9:58 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday. This improvement in status is great news for Engram and suggests that he should be able to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, barring some sort of unexpected setback. The 30-year-old has been a top contributor over the last two weeks, catching 15 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown during that span. He's a very solid TE1 option for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Oct 25, 2024 12:21 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) continued to be limited with a hamstring injury in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Engram injured his hamstring in pre-game warmups before Week 2 and then missed four games as a result. In two games since his return, he's caught all 15 of his targets for 137 yards and no touchdowns against the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots. Unless the 30-year-old veteran suffers a setback with his hamstring later this week, he should be ready to rock for Sunday's contest against the visiting Green Bay Packers, where he should be treated as a midrange TE1 in fantasy. In seven games this year, the Packers defense is allowing the 10th-most half-PPR points per game to opposing tight ends.
Oct 23, 2024 8:04 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught all five of his targets for 35 yards during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New England Patriots in London. The veteran pass-catcher has been quite productive in two weeks since returning from injury, catching 15 passes for 137 yards during that span. One would have to imagine that his strong stretch of games will continue when the Jaguars return stateside to face the Green Bay Packers next week. After all, Engram is looking like the Jaguars' second-best pass-catcher behind Brian Thomas Jr. Fantasy managers should treat the 30-year-old as a mid-to-low TE1 option in fantasy football.
Oct 21, 2024 12:22 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is a must-start in Week 7 against the New England Patriots in London. With no injury designation this week, Engram's hamstring injury seems to be behind him. The veteran tight end made a splash on his return with 10 catches for 102 yards on 10 targets. Despite returning from injury, Engram was the top target for Trevor Lawrence on the day. While the plethora of receiver options may make it hard for that trend to continue, Engram easily profiles as a TE1 given this week's solid matchup with the Patriots. The Bears have one of the best defenses in the league so far this season, so the Patriots should serve as an easier matchup for the Jaguars offense. Even if Lawrence spreads the ball around more than last week, Engram should put up mid to high-tier TE1 numbers in Week 7.
Oct 19, 2024 2:50 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) put in a second straight limited practice this week on Thursday. Engram injured his hamstring during pre-game warmups in Week 2 and didn't return until last week's loss in London to the Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old returned with a bang, though, catching eight of 10 targets for 102 yards. The Jaguars are likely just being cautious keeping Engram limited in practice this week to ensure that he doesn't suffer a setback for a second straight London game this weekend against the New England Patriots. Fantasy managers should have Engram locked into their lineups as a surefire TE1 as the Jags go for their second win of the season. Even if Engram is listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, we're pretty confident he'll be available against the Pats as he looks for an encore.
Oct 17, 2024 10:34 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The 30-year-old's appearance on the injury report is not surprising given that he was sidelined from Week 2 through Week 5 with a hamstring issue. He did return to the mix last weekend and was one of the Jaguars' lone bright spots, catching all 10 of his targets for 102 yards despite playing just 61 percent of offensive snaps. Engram is a productive, high-volume weapon who ranks as a solid fantasy TE1 going forward.
Oct 17, 2024 12:30 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was targeted often throughout the Week 6 loss to the Chicago Bears. After not playing since Week 1, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars made up for lost time by targeting Engram 10 times in this game. He caught all 10 of them for 102 yards but unfortunately couldn't find paydirt. Whenever healthy, Engram is a top tight end, especially in PPR formats. The good thing for fantasy managers is that Engram's fantasy success doesn't depend on the team's success. He'll look to keep the momentum going against the New England Patriots in another London game in Week 7.
Oct 14, 2024 9:52 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday morning's game against the Chicago Bears in London. The veteran tight end, who had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices, returns to game action for the first time since Week 1. In the season opener, he was held to just one catch on four targets. However, Jacksonville has done a better job of incorporating its tight ends lately, relying on Brenton Strange for nine catches, 55 yards, and two touchdowns over the last three weeks. Engram is an effective playmaker who ranks among the top 12 tight ends for this week in fantasy football.
Oct 13, 2024 8:06 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Engram has been sidelined since Week 2 after suffering a hamstring injury during warmups of that week. The tight end was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions this week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status ahead of kickoff in case he faces a setback. Engram enjoyed a career-year last season as he caught an impressive 114 receptions for 963 yards and four touchdowns. Engram remains a solid TE1 when he travels to Tottenham and faces the Chicago Bears who have allowed the 10th-fewest points to opposing tight ends this season.
Oct 12, 2024 2:43 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram has a decent chance to return in Week 6 from a hamstring injury after limited practices all week. The Jaguars face the Chicago Bears, who bring an elite secondary to London. Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense haven't been great since the veteran tight end got injured in warmups before Week 2, so his presence as a mismatch should be a huge help. Engram is still questionable so fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready, such as Jacksonville backup tight end Brenton Strange, but if Engram does play, it would be hard to bench him given the lack of alternatives at tight end. The Jaguars may struggle to move the ball, but given their porous defense, they could be throwing the ball a lot. That likely means plenty of opportunities for Engram to make an impact. As long as he's healthy come Sunday, fantasy managers should be fine starting Engram in Week 6.
Oct 11, 2024 11:29 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant for the third straight practice ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup against the Chicago Bears. It's Engram's first whole week of practice since Week 2, when he injured his hamstring in pre-game warmups before Jacksonville's 18-13 loss to the Browns. He'll officially get a questionable designation. While Chicago is listed as the "home" team via technicality, a trip to London is as much of a home game for the Jags as an outing at EverBank Stadium. Wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) is regarded as questionable, too -- after a week of limited sessions of his own. If Engram and Davis cannot play, tight end Brenton Strange will continue to see an uptick in usage, while wideouts Christian Kirk and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. project to handle a majority of 2WR sets.
Oct 11, 2024 9:35 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Engram hasn't played since the season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins after injuring his hamstring during pre-game warmups before Week 2, but head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week that he's optimistic that the 30-year-old will be able to return this Sunday to face the Chicago Bears in London. For what it's worth, Engram was also limited all of last week before being held out of the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Jacksonville could ease Engram back into the fold if he's active in London, making him a shaky low-end TE1 for fantasy managers if he plays. Backup Brenton Strange has two touchdowns in four games without Engram and would once again be a TE2 streamer if Engram is held out for a fifth straight game.
