Evan Engram News
Saturday, October 3, 4:22 AM
It's been a rough two weeks for those fantasy owners with shares of Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram. Engram has just one catch over the Broncos' last two matchups, a 17-yard reception during a Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He finished a Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams with two targets, but failed to haul either of them in. Engram is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked tight end and is projected to score just five fantasy points against a San Francisco 49ers defense that allowed Arizona Cardinals tight end to record nine receptions for 75 yards last week. Despite a solid day for McBride, however, the 49ers have done a nice job defending against opposing tight ends this year. San Francisco has allowed just 4.4 fantasy points per game to players at the position through three weeks.

Jake Ferguson News
Saturday, October 3, 2:06 AM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has three touchdown catches in as many games to start the 2026 NFL season. He's 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, and has the trust of his quarterback, Dak Prescott, in crucial areas of the field. Ferguson had 15 touchdowns in his NFL career and eight scoring grabs last season, and he's on pace to crush his career-high and add a significant amount to his total. He has just nine catches for 72 yards on his 11 targets, so he's made them count. A lost fumble in Week 3 put a damper on his fantasy score. And his volume isn't anything special, which makes him heavily touchdown-dependent. Houston's defense gave up 9.8 PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in 2025, slightly less than league average, so the matchup isn't terrible. But Ferguson's two-catch, six-yard performance in Week 1 against a soft New York Giants defense is indicative of his low floor. Ferguson is a high-end TE2 with upside for Week 4 in fantasy football.
