Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Pat Freiermuth

Tuesday, November 10, 7:33 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has garnered interest around the NFL with the trade deadline coming on Tuesday afternoon, but he is considered unlikely to be moved in part because Denver does not have a replacement, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Broncos have called around just in case, but it does not appear that Engram will be joining another team for the second half of the 2026 season. The 32-year-old veteran caught four of his five targets for 33 yards in the Week 9 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, which was actually one of his better performances of the season. Head coach Sean Payton talked Engram up as a Joker on offense going into last season, but the Broncos have not found an ideal role for him since the start of last year. He had a 50-461-1 line in 16 regular-season games last season in his first year in the Mile High City, and Engram has caught only 17 of his 30 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown through nine games in 2026 in his 10th year in the league. A trade out of Denver might be the only thing that can save Engram's fantasy value, and it does not look like that is in the cards.
