Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Brenton Strange

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (back) will play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Sean Payton. Engram had been listed as questionable and missed last Sunday's game. It has been an underwhelming start to Engram's Broncos tenure, as he has just four catches for 33 yards through two games while playing fewer than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. The Bengals' defense is known for struggling against tight ends, though, so perhaps Sunday will serve as a get-right opportunity for the former Giant and Jaguar. Cincinnati has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points allowed to tight ends, giving Engram fringe top-12 upside despite his current Week 4 ranking as the overall TE23.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was drawing waiver-wire consideration after catching all four of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in the Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. However, he took a step back in Sunday's 31-27 Week 2 loss on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals, catching three of five targets for just 17 yards. On the bright side, the 24-year-old was Jacksonville's clear TE1, playing 90 percent of the offensive snaps. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaned more on receivers Dyami Brown and Parker Washington in this one, but don't overlook the fact that Strange has nine targets through the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Strange will probably continue to have up-and-down weeks, but he's been on the field enough to be considered a borderline TE1/2 in fantasy as the Jags head into a Week 3 divisional matchup against the Houston Texans.
