Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Jaxson Dart

Thursday, October 9, 10:56 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram found the end zone for the first time this season in Week 5, but his overall production remains underwhelming. Through five games, Engram has caught 12 of 19 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown while struggling to carve out a consistent role in Denver's offense. Engram continues to split reps with Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins, limiting his snap share to just 41%, which ranks 56th among all tight ends. He also ranks 30th in route participation (53.9%) and 27th in fantasy points per game, highlighting his diminished opportunity in Sean Payton's offense. The Broncos face the New York Jets in Week 6, who have allowed the sixth most fantasy points to tight ends this season, but until Engram's usage increases, he's best left on the waiver wire in most formats.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and will play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. The 22-year-old first-rounder came out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a sore left hamstring, but it was never really viewed as anything serious, even heading into a short week. Dart upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 in his first NFL start, but he took a step back and committed three turnovers on Sunday to give the Saints their first win of the season. There are going to be plenty of ups and downs for Dart in his rookie season, especially with top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the year. Dart's dual-threat abilities give him upside as a QB2 in fantasy, although he'll be one to fade against a tough Eagles defense that is coming off their first loss of the year.
