Broncos Beat: TE Evan Engram 'doesn't have the snap count'

Sep 15, 2025

Evan Engram: The signs were there when Engram played just one snap on the first drive of Denver’s season in Week 1, but the free-agent tight end was even less involved against the Colts than the Titans last week.

Nix emphasized Engram’s the Broncos’ No. 1 option on a variety of plays, but the tight end just doesn’t have the snap count at the moment to make a massive impact when defenses are taking him away.

Fantasy Impact:

It's been a frustrating start to the fantasy season for those who waited on the TE position and thought they got a steal in Engram in the later rounds. Engram was thought to be a perfect fit in the Broncos offense, which seemed to lack a lot of big-name targets. The story said Engram did have one chain-moving catch in the second half, but was a ghost before the break. Through two games now, Engram has just four catches, the story pointed out. Engram will be tough to trust until we start to see more fantasy production, so owners may want to look for another option.

Rapoport: Burrow could miss three months with turf toe

Ian Rapoport

Updating an earlier item on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Ian Rapoport is reporting Burrow could miss at least three months with his turf toe and torn ligaments, if surgery is needed.

Fantasy Impact:

Missing three months would mean Burrow could potentially return in Week 16 against the Dolphins. That probably would also require the Bengals to still be in the playoff hunt by then. The Bengals are 2-0 and Jake Browning has kept the team afloat before. As far as fantasy goes, this is probably worst-case scenario without actually saying season-ending. He could return for the fantasy playoffs, but it’s hard to gauge what those chances actually are, depending on how the Bengals do up until then.

Joe Burrow looking at ‘tricky timeline’, could miss several weeks with turf toe

Bengals QB Joe Burrow is believed to have turf toe with torn ligaments, suffered during Sunday’s win over the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact:

Burrow had his leg rolled up in the second quarter and was helped to the locker room. He was later ruled questionable and then out with a toe injury. According to Rauch, it could be a “tricky timeline” for Burrow but several weeks is possible. Certainly a costly victory for the Bengals, who are 2-0 for the first time under head coach Zac Taylor. Jake Browning helped lead the comeback win, including the game-winning one-yard score. The Bengals head to Minnesota next week.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was helped to the locker room after having his leg rolled up in the second quarter against the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals somehow don’t have a cart, so staff members had to help Burrow to the locker room. No word yet on his status, but at least, for the time being, Jake Browning is in at quarterback. Burrow had 76 yards and a touchdown on 7/13 passing.
