Evan Engram's Sparse Receiving Volume Limits Week 7 Appeal

Saturday, October 24, 7:26 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram is a low-end TE2 for Sunday's road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, having recorded two or fewer receptions in four of six games. He caught two passes for 13 yards against the Seattle Seahawks after a four-catch, 55-yard outing against the Los Angeles Chargers, continuing an inconsistent start. Engram has 12 receptions for 134 yards and one touchdown this season. His lone score came in Week 1, and Denver has thrown only one touchdown pass across its past two games.

Jonnu Smith's Week 1 Role Limits His Fantasy Appeal

Saturday, September 19, 9:53 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Jonnu Smith put up 50 receiving yards in Week 1, but 43 of them came on one catch. The rest of the usage was less encouraging. Smith played 32 of Green Bay's 68 offensive snaps and drew three targets, while Tucker Kraft played 45 snaps and saw six. Kraft was making his return from a torn ACL, yet he still handled the larger share of the work and finished with three catches for 65 yards. Smith only joined Green Bay at the end of August, so his role could grow as he gets more comfortable in the offense. The Packers also used multiple tight ends heavily in the opener, which keeps Smith involved. Still, the early pecking order was pretty clear. Kraft was the more prominent receiving option, and Smith needed one 43-yard play to get to 50 yards. That makes Smith's Week 1 box score look better than the underlying role did.
