Is Evan Engram Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Evan Engram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Evan Engram hurt or healthy? Is Evan Engram playing in Week 3? Read the latest Evan Engram fantasy football injury updates and outlook.

Jacksonville Jaguars star tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) finished as the overall TE2 in PPR fantasy football formats in 2023, hauling in 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns. Engram provided huge games for fantasy managers, regularly hauling in seven or more catches per game, en route to league-winning numbers.

Engram didn't get off to a good start in 2024. There may be a league-wide curse on tight ends because he had just one catch for five yards in Week 1. To make matters worse, Engram was slated to start in Week 2, but dealt with a re-aggravation during pregame warmups in Week 2 and was held out of the game.

Is Evan Engram now healthy? Will he play in Week 3? Let's dive into an injury update and his fantasy football outlook.

Evan Engram Injury Update for Fantasy Football

Engram is dealing with a hamstring injury, which should be alarming to his fantasy managers. Hamstring injuries are famously one of the more difficult injuries to shake off and have a high rate of recurrence. It's possible Engram thought the issue was minor enough to play with, but being hurt again in warmups is a bad sign.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson has been non-committal about an Engram return, indicating that his injury is week-to-week, as is the case with many hamstring injuries. This is a frustrating development, but Engram owners should be prepared for an extended absence.

Engram may have many hurdles to clear. We don't know the exact severity of his hamstring injury, as that has not been disclosed.

 

Evan Engram Fantasy Football Outlook

While Engram had a stellar season in 2023, the Jaguars have fallen flat on offense so far in 2024. That may be in part due to Engram's absence, but the Jaguars' offensive line has been playing terribly and not affording Lawrence much time to go through his progressions and make plays downfield.

It's somewhat early to tell, but there's also the possibility the league is shifting away from tight end targeting en masse. Tight ends have been historically terrible for fantasy through two weeks, and it's becoming more apparent that we may need to expect less production from them.

Engram relied heavily on a high target volume from Lawrence in 2023, and if those targets drop off, it will be bad news for his production. The Jaguars have a rising star in new WR Brian Thomas Jr. and fellow WRs Christian Kirk and new signee Gabe Davis to siphon targets from Engram as well.

Engram benefitted massively from the absence of Christian Kirk in 2023, and while Engram was productive, the offense was much less effective with Kirk off the field. It may not be ideal for the offense to run through Engram so much, given that WRs typically gain more chunk plays than tight ends.

Engram is a start when he returns, but it's tough to expect much from the league's tight ends after what we've seen so far.
