Evan Engram Injury Update
Nothing has changed regarding Engram’s potential availability for Sunday’s clash with the Chicago Bears. He was on the field last in Week 1.
However, the veteran has been out of commission since because of a hamstring injury. For now, Engram is questionable. But if he misses another contest, Brenton Strange will continue to start.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson believes TE Evan Engram, who has not played since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, is likely to return for Sunday’s game in London vs. the Bears. “I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good,” Pederson said.

The volume hasn’t been there for Strange. Yet, he’s found the end zone in two of his previous three games, giving him some value in multi-tight end setups.
David Njoku Injury Update
Njoku missed time already this season because of an ankle injury. He finally made it back for Sunday’s loss to the Washington Commanders.
Yet, the 2017 No. 29 overall pick injured his knee in that one, so most assumed he would be on the shelf in the Week 6 showdown against Philadelphia.
Browns OT Jack Conklin and TE David Njoku are good to go for Sunday’s game.
Kevin Stefanski wouldn’t say if Conklin would have a role on a game day.

Miraculously, he made a rapid recovery and will be on the field. Still, with Njoku seemingly one snap away from another injury and the Browns’ offense a complete mess, he’s hard to trust.
Taysom Hill Injury Update
Hill has been ruled out for the Week 6 matchup. As a result, the door is open for Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau to see more targets in Sunday’s divisional meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While Johnson is the safer fantasy option, Moreau can still contribute. The former Raider has two touchdowns this season, so he deserves consideration, even if he’s a risky fantasy option.
Mike Gesicki Injury Update
Gesicki began the week by missing Wednesday’s practice. He was limited in Thursday’s session, although he was a full-go on Friday, meaning he will play against the Giants.
The 29-year-old had seven catches for 91 yards in the narrow loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. Outside of that, he hasn’t been productive this season.
Gesicki’s upside is higher than some tight ends around the National Football League. However, fantasy managers should only start him if they are desperate.
