Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram set the single-season franchise record in 2023 with 114 catches for 963 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games to earn his second trip to the Pro Bowl. After two very successful year in Jacksonville, Engram is now looking to be a bigger downfield threat than ever before, which would include more big plays and touchdowns, perhaps putting him in the elite tight end category that includes Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Sam LaPorta. Engram's 241 targets and 187 catches over the last two years are the most of any player on the roster and the most of any TE in the NFL. His 187 catches over that span are second among TEs only to Kelce's 203. Engram was the most-targeted TE last year, and only David Njoku had more yards after the catch than his 516. But his 8.4 yards per catch ranked 26th at the position. Draft Engram as a solid midrange TE1 and hope he can deliver on his goals in his third year with the Jags.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram has quietly been one of the best at his position in fantasy football over the last two seasons, and team reporter John Shipley said he has looked "fantastic" this summer at OTAs. The former first-round pick by the New York Giants in 2017 has found a great home with Jacksonville and catching passes from Trevor Lawrence. Over the last two years, he's hauled in 187 passes for 1,729 yards and eight touchdowns. He trails only Travis Kelce in receptions among tight ends since 2022, and his 114 receptions in 2023 rank second-most in a single season for tight ends all-time. After the departure of Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones, Engram should continue to be heavily targeted in 2024. Despite finishing as the TE2 (PPR) last season, he has an average draft position around the TE7 spot. He could provide immense value at cost.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught 10 of his 13 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's meeting with the Titans. With the loss, the Jaguars were eliminated from postseason contention. However, Engram put forth his best effort, so he can't shoulder much of the blame. Overall, the 29-year-old arguably had the best season of his career. He caught 114 passes, doing so despite the subpar play of Trevor Lawrence. Engram also nearly hit the 1,000-yard receiving mark and found the end zone four times. That said, his stock will be much higher than most at the position ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. If Lawrence can get his act together, Engram could be in line for his best year in the league.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads to Nashville to face the Titans in a "win and in" playoff scenario this Sunday. The veteran tight end continued his career year last week, adding a team high-six catches and 60 yards to his already stellar numbers. Engram is now just six receptions away from being the fourth tight end in league history to record 110 or more catches. While he has still only recorded three scores on the season, Engram is first in targets and second in yards after the catch among tight ends. Even if C.J. Beathard draws the start for a second consecutive week, Engram is a no-brainer play against a reeling Titans defense. While Tennessee has been able to limit opposing tight ends, Engram's target volume is simply too high to leave on fantasy benches.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram had a team-high six catches for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. Travis Etienne Jr. did most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end in this one, finishing with two rushing touchdowns. However, Engram was still productive for fantasy managers, doing so with backup C.J. Beathard under center. At any rate, the 29-year-old now has 104 catches in 16 games this season, the most of his career by far. While Engram has just three touchdowns this season, he's still a top fantasy tight end, meaning he should be in the lineup for Week 18 versus the Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads into a pivotal Week 17 home matchup against Carolina tomorrow. It's been a tale of streaks for the veteran tight end this season. Engram hit four consecutive top-10 weekly finishes to start the year, then failed to reach that mark for the next seven in half-PPR scoring. He's been a top-six option at the position in three out of the past four outings, but now finds himself in a tough matchup at home against the Panthers. Carolina ranks top-five in fantasy points allowed to the position in 2023 and are second in yards allowed to tight ends. Backup C.J. Beathard will start, but this shouldn't hurt Engram's value very much given that he been the quarterback's favorite target when both players have been on the field. With a banged up group of pass-catchers, Engram should command a significant target share and thus cannot be left out of fantasy lineups even with a difficult matchup.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught 10 passes for 95 yards, also losing a fumble in a 30-12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Engram once again led the team in targets and tied a career high with 15, giving fantasy managers another top-ten weekly finish at his position. Not much was working for the Jags all game long but quarterback Trevor Lawrence hit Engram countless times over the middle which led to Engram tying a season-high in receiving yards. The veteran remains one of the most reliable options at tight end and will hope to continue his solid play next week vs. the Carolina Panthers.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a vital Week 16 clash. Engram unfortunately fell victim to the elite Baltimore Ravens defense last week, posting his lowest output of the season. However, the game prior he was TE1 with 27 half-PPR points, which was the second-highest total of his career. The Bucs ranks 26th against opposing tight-ends on the season, and with Engram likely to receive even more looks with Zay Jones banged up and Christian Kirk remaining out, the vet is a lineup lock for Week 16. Except top-five production this week.
Evan Engram Produces 28 Scoreless Yards Vs. Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram secured four passes on six targets for 28 yards in a loss to Baltimore. The veteran tight end almost reached 'on fire' status, but ended up sinking with the rest of the Jaguars weapons in a disappointing effort. After two dominant 20+ point performances, Engram came back down to earth with only 4.8 half-PPR fantasy points, which gave him a season-worst TE28 finish on the year. The former Ole Miss star is still an incredibly crucial part of this offense, tying for third on the team in targets, but the Jaguars need to take a step back and reevaluate their plan of attack after a third straight loss. Things should get much easier next week when the Jaguars travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers.
