Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Dallas Goedert

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (calf) is expected to suit up for Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts after leaving the opener with a calf contusion. Engram's usage before the injury was concerning, as he played just 44% of the snaps overall and was on the field for only 56% of Denver's passing plays. Adam Trautman, the more experienced blocker, was featured more heavily in Sean Payton's game plan. The much-hyped "Joker role" for Engram in Payton's offense appears overstated based on Week 1 usage. While the Colts were vulnerable to tight ends in 2024, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to the position, Engram's limited playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar for now.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), who was inactive for the Week 2 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl rematch due to a knee sprain he suffered in the season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys, returned to the practice field on Wednesday, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. While it's not guaranteed that Goedert will play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams just yet, this is certainly a positive sign for his availability this weekend. The 30-year-old caught all seven of his targets for 44 yards in Week 1 and should be considered a must-start TE1 in fantasy if he returns for Week 3 action. With Goedert out against Kansas City, backup Grant Calcaterra finished with only one catch on two targets for six yards.
