Who Should I Start? MyCole Pruitt or Evan Engram

Sunday, November 17, 11:46 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee) is officially inactive for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as doubtful. Pruitt endured a five-week absence earlier in the season, returned for three games, and is now sidelined again. He has appeared in five contests, catching just two of four targets for 19 yards. Pruitt's absence leaves Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, and Connor Heyward as Pittsburgh's healthy options at tight end.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram finished with seven catches which led the team in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. While from a PPR standpoint Engram's performance was solid, he only had 41 yards and no touchdowns, so better efficiency and red zone usage will be necessary for sustained fantasy success going forward. Trevor Lawrence struggled early then went down with a concussion late in the first half, leading to Mac Jones taking over for the rest of the game. Jones played well, throwing two touchdowns but neither to Engram unfortunately for fantasy managers. Engram has never been much of a downfield threat, and that will certainly continue with Jones under center and rookie teammate Brian Thomas Jr. thriving on deep balls. The Jaguars face the Titans in Week 14, where Engram will look to continue his TE1 level of play.
