Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Irv Smith Jr.

Wednesday, September 20, 10:30 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram looks to continue his solid start to the NFL season in a Week 3 tilt against Houston. The former first-round pick sits at TE3 through the first two weeks, averaging 10.8 PPR points per game. The Texans allowed Kylen Granson to score last week, potentially opening the door for Engram to hit pay dirt for the first time this season. With how thin the tight end position is, if you own Engram, you're playing him. Expect another TE1 performance from the veteran with some scoring upside.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. Smith Jr. practiced in a limited capacity on both Friday and Saturday but was listed as doubtful on the team's final injury report ahead of their MNF tilt against the L.A. Rams. The tight end position has not played a large role in Cincinnati's offensive game plan to start the season, Smith Jr. has just five catches for 27 scoreless yards through two games. Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox would fill in if Smith Jr. is unable to play but neither player has any fantasy value.
