Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Wednesday, October 22, 10:53 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram is trending upward after logging his highest snap share of the 2025 season in Week 7. Against his former team, the New York Giants, Engram drew eight targets, catching five passes for 42 yards in the Broncos' thrilling comeback victory. Engram played 54% of the offensive snaps, while Adam Trautman saw his lowest mark of the season (33%). While the game script could've played a role, it's encouraging to see Engram finally leading the tight end rotation. Heading into Week 8, Engram faces a struggling Dallas Cowboys defense that's allowed consistent production to tight ends. Though still a bit risky due to snap volatility, Engram is a solid streaming option and a potential solid fill-in for fantasy managers this week.

Ja'Tavion Sanders has been a complete afterthought in the Panthers' passing attack all season. In five games played, Sanders has just 14 receptions for 111 yards and is averaging 5.0 PPR fantasy points per game. Last week against the Buffalo Bills, Sanders caught all three of his targets for only 19 yards and 4.9 PPR fantasy points. This week, Carolina will face the Green Bay Packers, who allow 17.93 fantasy points against tight ends, ranking 30th of all NFL teams this year. Even though the matchup looks favorable, Sanders hasn't delivered enough to be worthy of any fantasy consideration. Bryce Young is back after missing last week's game due to an ankle injury, which can help Carolina's passing offense, but Sanders still likely won't contribute enough for fantasy purposes. Although this is an excellent matchup for tight ends, Sanders is not rosterable outside of Dynasty leagues, and his appeal in that format is dwindling.
