Evan Engram 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: A Powerhouse TE In PPR Leagues
7 months agoEvan Engram's 2017 rookie season with the New York Giants was noteworthy, but injuries hindered what he could do moving forward. Over the last two years, Engram has been the primary tight end in the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. He seems to be over the "injury-prone" designation he had been given over his career. The athletic tight end played in every game last season and has only missed two across the past four seasons. He only brought in four scores last season, something to improve in 2024. Engram ran a route on 97.2% of the Jaguars' passing plays and was heavily targeted by Trevor Lawrence. Although his scoring numbers were low, he had a career season as he was targeted 143 times, catching 114 passes for 963 yards. Calvin Ridley was brought in to be Jacksonville's WR1 but struggled. Christian Kirk (groin) was an essential target in the offense last season but couldn't stay healthy. Zay Jones was also plagued by injury. The 2024 roster will look different as Jones was released when Jacksonville drafted Brian Thomas Jr. in the 2024 Draft. Jones is currently a Cardinal, while Ridley is now a Titan. Engram's target share of 23.8% in 2023 is sustainable for 2024, especially with the roster moves. Lawrence needs to improve in the passing game, and Engram needs to score more. He is currently being taken as the TE7 with an FFPC ADP of 45 and is ranked as the TE7 (84 overall) by RotoBaller. Engram finished 2023 as the TE2 in PPR leagues and TE6 in standard leagues, making him more valuable in PPR than standard.
