Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Juwan Johnson

Tuesday, October 14, 3:00 PM

In Sunday's London game, which few would consider an instant classic, Denver tight end Evan Engram led all Broncos pass catchers with five receptions for 42 yards. Both marks also represented season highs for the veteran tight end, who has now seen at least five targets and four receptions in three straight games. While none of these numbers justify the brief offseason hype stemming from head coach Sean Payton's talk of using him in the Joker role, Engram has provided a reliable floor at a position where that's hard to come by. If he can mix in the occasional touchdown, as he did in Week 5, he should continue to be in play in most formats as injuries and bye weeks mount.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has seen his opportunities in the offense quickly decline, recording just two receptions for 17 yards in Week 6 against the Patriots. He also had a season-low two targets and lost a fumble in the contest. Johnson's fall from TE1 status coincides with the returns of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau, as well as a drop in passing attempts from quarterback Spencer Rattler, who averaged 36.5 attempts per game from Weeks 1-4, but just 28 over the last two games. Johnson now ranks TE30 on RotoBaller and can be safely left off rosters in most leagues.
