Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Michael Mayer

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. Engram enters Week 16 as the TE30 overall on the season in full-PPR leagues and has had a downtrend in offensive snaps with 36% in Week 14 and 28% in Week 15. While the Jaguars will likely force the Broncos to focus more on the passing attack since they are the best in the league at average rushing yards allowed per game, with 86.3, it's hard to bet that Engram will be a beneficiary of the gameplan. As RotoBaller's TE27 overall on the week, Engram will be best left on the bench or on waivers.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer remains off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Mayer was productive during his short stint as the team's starting tight end earlier this season, but he fell off the fantasy radar when superstar tight end Brock Bowers returned to the mix mid-year. Mayer has dealt with his own injury problems, too, as the 24-year-old was sidelined for Weeks 13 and 14. In his return to action last week, he played just 19% of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in Vegas' Kenny Pickett-led offense. Geno Smith will return as the Raiders' starting quarterback this upcoming Sunday, but that shouldn't change Mayer's fantasy outlook much. He is averaging just 2.0 catches, 15.3 yards, and zero touchdowns in games where Bowers is active.
