Evan Engram

Evan Engram was able to return to practice on Monday and has a chance to play this weekend against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Engram was out last week during the Thursday night game due to a knee injury. Coming off the short week, it wasn't a surprise to see Engram held out, and it seems like there is a good chance he's able to suit up against the Cardinals. This would be a great matchup for Engram, making him one of the top tight end plays of the week if he's healthy.

Evan Engram (knee) is ruled out for Thursday’s Week 6 matchup against the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Engram suffered a sprained MCL Week 5 against the Vikings and faced a short week of recovery, it’s not surprising that he’s going to miss Week 6. The Giants offense will be without multiple starters against a tough Patriots defense. Engram will look to get back on track for Week 7’s matchup against the Cardinals.

Giants tight end Evan Engram has a sprained MCL, and there is a "real chance" he misses Thursday night's matchup with the New England Patriots, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants are already going to be without Sterling Shepard and Wayne Gallman due to concussions, and Saquon Barkley is unlikely to play as he continues to recover from a high ankle sprain, so losing Engram would further deplete their receiving corps. If Engram can't go, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton should see more targets, while tight end Rhett Ellison could see increased usage.

Giants tight end Evan Engram caught six of his 11 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Engram has been targeted at least seven times in every game this season and has 33 receptions for 373 yards and two touchdowns through five weeks.

Giants tight end Evan Engram caught four of his seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins.

Fantasy Impact

Engram did not have a huge day on Sunday but has been a consistent contributor out of the tight end position, which is always a point of stress for fantasy owners. It will be interesting to see how his role changes after wide receiver Golden Tate returns from his suspension next week.
