BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence endured a massive 14-40 defeat last Sunday at Detroit but he threw 31 passes, completing 17 of them. Of those 31 attempts, 7 went Evan Engram's way for a team-leading amount of targets. With every single Jaguars soul struggling, at least Engram was super-productive considering the context, the volume, and the final result of the matchup.
Engram caught 5 of his 7 targets on Sunday for 30 yards and also scored a touchdown. All things considered, he put up 14 PPR points, his second-best tally of the season after hitting 15.5 PPR back in Week 8 hosting Denver.
Engram was invisible in Week 12 with just one target (one reception, four yards), but Lawrence went back to feeding him well in Week 13 handing him the most targets Engram has seen since he got the same number back in Week 7. Last Sunday's touchdown was Engram's second of the season.
It's hard to trust a tight end outside of the cream of the crop, but the Jaguars at least have already had their bye week and Engram had a nice eight-week run from the start of the year to Week 8.
After three putrid outcomes of 1.8, 4.4, and 1.4 PPR points, Engram bounced back big time last Sunday, and that's what we're hoping he does ROS here. Engram has six 9.0+ PPR outings on the year and made the top 10 at the position in five different weeks, including this last one (TE3 overall pending MNF).
