Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Dalton Schultz

Monday, November 18, 7:15 PM

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.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will face the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 12, though that's not good news for a mid-tier fantasy player at his position. The Titans' solid defense has been particularly good against fantasy tight ends, ranking sixth overall and holding Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson to just two catches for 13 yards in a loss to the Vikings last week. Schultz now hasn't scored a regular-season touchdown in a calendar year and ranks 23rd among tight ends in PPR formats. Bye weeks are wreaking havoc on lineups, but fantasy managers should aim higher than Schultz's typical TE2 output if they have other options.
