Evan Engram Trending in Wrong Direction Entering Challenge vs. 49ers

Saturday, October 3, 4:22 AM

It's been a rough two weeks for those fantasy owners with shares of Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram. Engram has just one catch over the Broncos' last two matchups, a 17-yard reception during a Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He finished a Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams with two targets, but failed to haul either of them in. Engram is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked tight end and is projected to score just five fantasy points against a San Francisco 49ers defense that allowed Arizona Cardinals tight end to record nine receptions for 75 yards last week. Despite a solid day for McBride, however, the 49ers have done a nice job defending against opposing tight ends this year. San Francisco has allowed just 4.4 fantasy points per game to players at the position through three weeks.

Tucker Kraft Still in Search of a Return to Form

Thursday, October 1, 9:13 AM

After opening the season with a three-catch, 65-yard performance that was good enough to make him the TE16 on the week, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has turned in back-to-back quiet outings, and he has fallen to TE32 for the year. After an ACL tear ended his breakout 2025 campaign, Kraft came into the season with rumblings of a pitch count, but he has shown no signs of limitation in handling a 79% snap share and ranking ninth among tight ends with 17 targets. Unfortunately, his chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love has been lacking, with the two connecting on only 52.9% of those targets. Kraft's two drops in three games are already one shy of his total from a season ago, and while his 10.8 yards after catch helped make him a dominant force in 2025, that number has fallen to 5.6 yards per catch on a limited 2026 sample. While he will need to prove he still belongs in the weekly TE1 discussion, Kraft has a plus matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 4 and is RotoBaller's TE10.
