Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or CJ Uzomah

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) underwent surgery on Monday to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. It was already announced that Engram would miss the rest of the 2024 season with his injury, but head coach Doug Pederson said he is expected to be back for spring workouts. The 30-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve last weekend, officially ending his season. After a career year in 2023 with the Jags in which he caught 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns, Engram finishes 2024 with 47 catches, 365 receiving yards and only one touchdown in nine starts. It just wasn't meant to be for Jacksonville this year, and it didn't help Engram's cause that quarterback Trevor Lawrence couldn't stay healthy. Engram will be heading into the final year of his three-year, $41.25 million extension in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Wednesday that they signed tight end C.J. Uzomah to the 53-man active roster and signed wide receiver Parris Campbell to their practice squad. The move to add Uzomah to the active roster comes after starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens that has him listed as week-to-week moving forward. The 31-year-old veteran tight end has been brought up from the practice squad in each of the last three games but hasn't been targeted at all in the passing game. If Goedert is inactive for Week 14 against the visiting Carolina Panthers this Sunday, it will likely be Grant Calcaterra that fantasy managers should consider streaming as a TE2 sleeper in fantasy, not Uzomah. The move to bring Uzomah up is a sign that the Eagles don't plan on having Goedert available this week.
