Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Harrison Bryant

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 Harrison Bryant didn't play a snap in Week 1 against the Rams since he was on the practice squad, but he's expected to be involved on Monday Night Football against the Buccaneers since Matt Stover (foot) was placed on IR and is out indefinitely. Bryant will serve as the primary backup behind Dalton Schultz, but Stover was very involved in Week 1, playing 57% of snaps and catching all four of his targets for 22 yards. While Schultz will likely get most of that work, Bryant could get a few looks as well. The Texans' offensive line struggled in Week 1, so Bryant could also be used as an extra blocker. He's not a fantasy option yet as just the TE56 in the RotoBaller Week 2 rankings, but it will be worth watching how Stover's looks are divided up this Monday night.
