Tight end Evan Engram, who was the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft by the New York Giants out of Mississippi, had pretty much always teased high-end fantasy potential in his five years in the Big Apple. He had 722 receiving yards and a career-high six touchdowns in his rookie year but never again came close to matching or exceeding those marks with the G-Men. Engram put it all together in 2023 in his second year with the Jacksonville Jaguars, setting career-highs in receptions (114), targets (143) and receiving yards (963). It came crashing down in 2024, though, as he played in only nine games due to hamstring and shoulder injuries and had a career-low 7.8 yards per catch before being shut down for the year. Although he's at the dreaded age of 30 in the NFL, Engram is healthy now and with a Denver Broncos team desperately searching for more production from the tight end position. While nobody should be expecting Engram to see the kind of volume he had in 2023, he should be a reliable target for second-year QB Bo Nix in the intermediate are of the field and in the red zone. He could be Nix's No. 2 target behind Courtland Sutton, although he's probably going to need to find paydirt more often to be a legitimate TE1 in fantasy in 2025. RotoBaller has him ranked 10th at the position in his new digs.--Keith Hernandez
