Evan Engram Week 2 Outlook - Jaguars at Titans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:01am EDT

It was a horrible game for Engram last week, who dropped multiple passes, including a should-be touchdown where he stopped his route. He just looked to not be completely there in this game. We heard rumblings about the Giants trying to trade him in the offseason, so maybe there's a disconnect with him and the coaching staff. Whatever the case, he didn't look good. Seven targets is something to latch onto, though. The Bears are coming off a game in which they allowed T.J. Hockenson to catch all five of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown. The Bears allowed just two tight ends to top 50 yards last year, though there were plenty who totaled 30-50 yards, which is why they allowed 13 tight ends to finish as top-20 options. They have a new safety in Tashaun Gipson, so it's possible there will be a learning curve between him and Eddie Jackson. Engram should come with a decent floor as a top-15 tight end, but if he plays like he did last week, they're going to give more snaps to Kaden Smith, and rightfully so.
