Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Juwan Johnson

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (back) will play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Sean Payton. Engram had been listed as questionable and missed last Sunday's game. It has been an underwhelming start to Engram's Broncos tenure, as he has just four catches for 33 yards through two games while playing fewer than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. The Bengals' defense is known for struggling against tight ends, though, so perhaps Sunday will serve as a get-right opportunity for the former Giant and Jaguar. Cincinnati has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points allowed to tight ends, giving Engram fringe top-12 upside despite his current Week 4 ranking as the overall TE23.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson recorded six receptions for 51 yards on eight targets in Week 3 against the Seahawks. He and starting quarterback Spencer Rattler have built a strong connection, with Rattler targeting him 28 times this season, second-most on the team behind receiver Chris Olave. Johnson ranks fifth in receiving yards among tight ends through three weeks, and his volume shows no signs of slowing. He faces a Bills defense in Week 4 that has been solid against tight ends, allowing just five receptions for 32 yards and one touchdown through three weeks. Despite the tough matchup, Johnson remains a TE1 based on volume alone.
