Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Xavier Worthy

Wednesday, October 22, 10:53 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram is trending upward after logging his highest snap share of the 2025 season in Week 7. Against his former team, the New York Giants, Engram drew eight targets, catching five passes for 42 yards in the Broncos' thrilling comeback victory. Engram played 54% of the offensive snaps, while Adam Trautman saw his lowest mark of the season (33%). While the game script could've played a role, it's encouraging to see Engram finally leading the tight end rotation. Heading into Week 8, Engram faces a struggling Dallas Cowboys defense that's allowed consistent production to tight ends. Though still a bit risky due to snap volatility, Engram is a solid streaming option and a potential solid fill-in for fantasy managers this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night in Week 8. Worthy was listed on the injury report with shoulder and ankle injuries, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation ahead of this week's contest. Worthy had a pedestrian performance in Week 7, catching three passes for 35 yards in the 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. With the return of Rashee Rice from suspension in Week 7, Worthy was relegated to a more complementary role in the offense. Worthy's production moving forward will likely be sporadic, given that he was one of five Chiefs to catch at least three passes in last week's contest. The speedy wideout is more of a downfield winner with the ability to produce big plays, but his fantasy production could be lacking if he doesn't hit on one of those plays. Worthy will look to break off an explosive play this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable WR2 option during a week with six teams on bye.
