Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Pat Freiermuth

Sunday, October 1, 11:01 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram hauled in seven of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Falcons. The veteran has proven to be one of the most consistent tight ends in fantasy this year, putting together another top-10 positional weekly finish, his fourth in as many weeks. Even though the Jaguars have struggled on offense this year, Engram has provided quarterback Trevor Lawrence with an incredibly reliable target in the passing game. Fantasy managers can continue playing the former Ole Miss star confidently, even against a tough defensive matchup next week when the Jaguars head to Buffalo.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is "very doubtful" to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens this Sunday after he hurt his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. We'll have a better idea of whether Freiermuth will be able to play this weekend based on his practice status this week, but fantasy managers that have been starting him through the first four weeks of the season should already be looking for a backup plan if they don't have one already. Rookie Darnell Washington could serve as Pittsburgh's top pass-catching tight end if Freiermuth is inactive, while Connor Heyward could also be in the mix for a larger role in Week 5.
