Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Dalton Schultz

Wednesday, September 17, 9:47 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (back) was held out of Wednesday's practice session. Engram was dealing with a calf issue last week, but still managed to play in the Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. However, fantasy managers might not have noticed he played considering he only hauled in one catch for 12 yards during that contest. The veteran tight end has a total of four catches through the first two weeks. His decrease in usage should be more of a concern than this back injury. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for another update on his status. If he sits, Adam Trautman would see an increased role for the Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Engram should be rostered in most formats, but is tough to trust after two straight duds.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has the potential for a big workload in Week 2, when his team hosts the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Schultz tied for the team lead with five targets in Week 1, and his backup tight end, Cade Stover, had four more targets. C.J. Stroud's lack of reliable protection forced him to check down to his tight ends early and often against the Rams. As a result, Schultz hauled in three catches for 28 yards for the Texans' struggling offense against the Rams, while Stover caught all four of his targets for 22 yards. However, Stover also suffered a broken foot and will be out indefinitely, potentially leaving even more work for Schultz. Against the Bucs, Schultz is the No. 18 TE in the RotoBaller rankings, and he can be an emergency starter or TE2 in most standard-sized leagues this week.
