JAX TE Evan Engram - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

What a career turnaround for Evan Engram. A near-afterthought with the Giants, Engram has become a fantasy force in Jacksonville. He finished as the No. 2 tight end in fantasy last season after catching 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns. He also led all tight ends with 143 targets and should be in line for a ton of targets yet again, especially with Calvin Ridley now with the Titans. He'll be one of the top receivers for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Fantasy Downside

Regression is almost assured for Engram. Drops are still an issue and he's not a guarantee to score you touchdowns. He has scored at least five touchdowns in a season just once, his rookie season of 2017.

2024 Bottom Line

Even with regression, Engram will still be one of the top tight end options in fantasy. He's our TE8 heading into drafts, which feels like good value for a player who could be considered the top option in the Jaguars passing offense and one of the most-targeted tight ends in the league.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

Evan Engram was still able to put up fantasy-relevant numbers in Week 16, despite the Jaguars shellacking at the hands of the Buccaneers. Engram caught ten of his 15 targets for 95 yards on his way to 12.5 Half-PPR points. This was Engram's third double-digit reception game of the season, and he has caught four or more balls in every single game in 2023. He has career highs in receptions (98) and receiving yards (824) this season.

Engram's workload keeps him in the TE1 conversation, despite the uncertainty at quarterback and the less-than-favorable matchup. The Panthers rank first in aFPA to tight ends in 2023.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After his explosive game against the Browns in Week 14, Evan Engram came back to earth with a massive bump against the Ravens. Engram could only manage four grabs for 28 yards on his way to just 4.8 Half-PPR points, finishing the week as the TE29.

Pass catchers around the league usually lick their lips whenever the Buccaneers come onto the schedule, be they wide receivers or tight ends. The Bucs rank 29th in aFPA to the latter, but the lack of Trevor Lawrence makes the entire Jaguars offense something of a liability. Still, C.J. Beathard may look to get the ball out of his hands quickly, in which case the areas where Engram generally patrols should be somewhat fertile ground for cheap receptions. Engram can be viewed as a low-end TE1 in Week 16.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Evan Engram had himself a day against the Browns in Week 14. Engram was targeted 12 times, catching 11 for 95 yards and two scores on his way to 27 Half-PPR points. Engram led all tight ends in fantasy scoring last week, and ranks as TE6 in points per game in 2023.

The Ravens have been more susceptible to tight ends than wide receivers this season, ranking seventh in aFPA to wideouts but only 16th to tight ends. Engram’s safe weekly target floor makes him a safe mid-tier TE1 projection, especially now he has discovered a taste for the end zone.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Our long national nightmare came to an end last week, with Evan Engram finally finding the end zone for the Jaguars. Engram caught all nine of his targets for 82 yards and his score, finishing with 18.7 Half-PPR points in Week 13. He was the TE3 overall.

The Browns have erased tight ends in fantasy this season and rank fourth in aFPA to the position. Engram remains in play as a low-end TE1 option on volume alone, as stand-in quarterback C.J. Beathard will almost certainly look to his safety valve early and often.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The long wait for an Evan Engram touchdown continues. Engram actually led the Jaguars with eight targets a week ago, seeing eight targets against the Texans. But his five catches only brought 49 scoreless yards and 7.4 Half-PPR points, which admittedly was good for TE10 last week.

If the Engram explosion game is coming, then it should be this week against the Bengals who are one of the best matchups a tight end can ask for this season. The Bengals rank 30th in aFPA to tight ends in 2023, making Engram a solid mid-tier TE1 projection in Week 13.

JAX TE Evan Engram - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Houston Texans

It was another quiet game from Evan Engram against the Titans in Week 11. The tight end saw six targets and caught four of them, but could only muster 29 yards. He still hasn't scored a touchdown in 2023, and he is down to a 7.5 Half PPR points per game average, good for TE15.

Engram does have a prime matchup against the Texans coming up in Week 12, it must be said. No team has been more generous to fantasy tight ends than the Texans, who rank 32nd in aFPA to the position. Engram is a steady, floor-based TE1 option this week, but his inability to find the paint severely caps his upside.
