Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Sam LaPorta

Wednesday, September 20, 10:30 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram looks to continue his solid start to the NFL season in a Week 3 tilt against Houston. The former first-round pick sits at TE3 through the first two weeks, averaging 10.8 PPR points per game. The Texans allowed Kylen Granson to score last week, potentially opening the door for Engram to hit pay dirt for the first time this season. With how thin the tight end position is, if you own Engram, you're playing him. Expect another TE1 performance from the veteran with some scoring upside.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has hauled in 10 of his 11 targets for 102 yards in his first two games as a pro. The Iowa product is the No. 5 tight end in total fantasy points (PPR) through two weeks, so he carries another TE1 outlook into Week 3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are banged up this week and turned in limited practices. If one or both of those two wideouts are out for Week 3, LaPorta's ceiling would be even higher. If they both play, he's still becoming a virtual must-start at the always-scarce tight end spot in fantasy football. Start him with confidence against the Atlanta Falcons.
