Evan Engram News
Saturday, November 7, 7:00 AM
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram faces a Carolina defense that has allowed 5 receiving touchdowns to tight ends in seven games. The Panthers also gave up 34 catches for 331 yards to the position, including 6 receptions for 53 yards and a score to Tucker Kraft last week. Denver's rotation makes it difficult to bet on Engram taking advantage Sunday. He played 30 offensive snaps against Kansas City in Week 8 and failed to catch any of his 3 targets. Adam Trautman played 35 snaps and caught 2 passes for 30 yards, while Nate Adkins scored on one of his 2 catches despite playing just 19 snaps. Engram had 4 catches for 55 yards against the Chargers in Week 5, but he has combined for 3 catches and 15 yards in the three games since. He has one touchdown on the season and sits at TE31 in RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings. Carolina's track record gives Engram some appeal in leagues that start two tight ends. He belongs on the bench in standard 12-team formats.

Cole Kmet News
Friday, October 23, 7:51 AM
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (right knee) is believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending injury during Thursday's 30-24 victory over the New England Patriots, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kmet was carted off after injuring his knee on a fourth-quarter reception and finished with three catches for 28 yards. Head coach Ben Johnson said afterward that the injury did not look good, although further testing is needed to confirm the severity. Kmet has caught 10 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown through seven games, with Colston Loveland already serving as Chicago's primary receiving tight end. Loveland has caught 13 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns over the past two games, including seven receptions on 12 targets Thursday. If Kmet misses extended time, reserve Sam Roush could take on additional snaps in Chicago's multi-tight-end packages.
