ANALYSIS: It was a rough first week for Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram in fantasy. Engram caught just one pass for five yards in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. It was certainly an unusual line for the 30-year-old veteran, as he caught at least four passes in all 17 games in 2023. His four targets last week are also the fewest amount he has seen in a game since Week 18 of the 2022 season.
Unfortunately, a better fantasy game might not be in store for Engram in Week 2. The Pro Bowl tight end has a tough matchup this week against a Cleveland Browns defense that gave up the second-fewest fantasy points to the position in 2023. Cleveland also allowed the fewest receiving yards (565) to tight ends last season.
However, given the tight end landscape in fantasy heading into Week 2, Engram should still be started in all formats. Last year against the Browns, he caught 11 passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns en route to a TE1 fantasy finish. So, the matchup might not matter too much this weekend.
BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise. Entering Week 1, there were hints that rookie Kaelon Black was second on San Francisco's running back depth chart, but that wasn't fully confirmed until Jordan James was a healthy scratch. Black not only won the […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason. All three wideouts were ranked closely together because some experts punted on the group and preferred not to mess with it, while others […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in deeper 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky WR3 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce broke out last season with 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. In the process, he easily led the NFL in yards per reception (minimum 40 receptions) and was one of its premier deep threats. […]
