Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Jake Ferguson

Friday, November 21, 10:33 AM

Across 10 games this season, Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has recorded 32 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. While the 31-year-old's role in the Denver offense as a short-area target has remained fairly stable for most of the 2025 season, he hasn't factored in the red zone and brings almost no explosive ability to the table at this point in his career. Despite earning at least five targets in six out of 10 contests, Engram has yet to crack 42 receiving yards in a game. Denver also has a deep cast of talented pass-catchers between wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. The Broncos have their bye week in Week 12 before a Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. However, even in a favorable matchup against the struggling Washington defense, Engram will be tough to trust as a starting fantasy tight end in Week 13.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is looking to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Ferguson had a strong stretch of play, but has been a bit sluggish lately. Last week, Ferguson hauled in four of his five targets for 16 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The return of CeeDee Lamb seems to have cut into some of Ferguson's target share over the last few games. The 26-year-old has been held to under 50 receiving yards four of his last five games. Despite that, Ferguson should still be plugged in as a TE1 for this Week 12 matchup.
