Evan Engram - 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Undervalued Draft Picks

Evan Engram is a fantasy football sleeper and undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Denver Broncos tight end.

RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): TE9

Fantasy Draft Analysis: It was just two years ago that former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram saw 143 targets in 2023. While that number might be hard to obtain this year, there's no reason why Engram can't see over 125 targets in his first year with the Denver Broncos. The veteran signed a two-year deal with the Broncos in free agency after the Jaguars let him go following a subpar 2024 campaign. 

This landing spot in Denver couldn't be any better for Engram. He joins an ascending Broncos offense that has an up-and-coming quarterback in Bo Nix and has the potential to be Nix's second favorite target in the passing game behind Courtland Sutton. That all could help the 30-year-old become a target hog in 2025.

Additionally, head coach Sean Payton has spoken highly of Engram all offseason. Payton has often referred to using the veteran in a "Joker" role in this offense. That "Joker" role has been a staple in Payton's offenses for a long time, and the plan is for the Broncos to utilize him all around the formation to create mismatches for opposing defenses. 

Given Denver's lack of receiving options and Engram's potential in the "Joker" role, he should be heavily involved in this offense in 2025. As a result, he could finish toward the top of the tight end position in both targets and catches this season. He is certainly a sneaky target to draft in the eighth or ninth round of fantasy football drafts.
