Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Rachaad White

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram showed his athleticism on Sunday while scoring his first touchdown of the season on a block and release catch in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Engram looked spry and healthy as he had six targets for four catches and 33 yards on top of the lone touchdown pass from Bo Nix versus the stubborn Eagles defense. With multiple speedsters on the team and wide receiver Courtland Sutton pacing the team in targets on the season, it's more likely than not that Engram will continue to be a safety valve for Nix, barring injuries to the team. Fantasy managers should still be happy with Engram's performance this week in his win against the Eagles. Engram can be used as a streamer against the New York Jets in Week 6, who just surrendered 37 points to the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday's loss.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the team still views running back Rachaad White as a lead back, and now they have two of them with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder), according to Pewter Report. Bowles added that White is very professional, is a great teammate, and is a great team player. With Irving sitting out of the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, White operated as Tampa's clear lead back and rewarded fantasy managers who had been stashing them on their bench with 14 carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns in the 38-35 victory. The 26-year-old added four catches for an additional 30 yards. The two touchdowns were nice, but White wasn't very efficient as a runner, averaging just 2.9 yards per carry. White's Week 6 fantasy value will depend entirely on whether Irving is back to face the San Francisco 49ers. If Irving misses a second straight game, White will be a plug-and-play RB2 again.
