Evan Engram

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.

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.

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.
