Evan Engram

If you own Engram and want to play him this week, you should be grabbing Smith as insurance with this game being on Monday night. It's not a great matchup to target, however. There have been just three tight ends who've scored double-digit PPR points against the Eagles this year, and each of them totaled seven-plus targets, something that'd be difficult to rely on if everyone is healthy. Smith has seen six and eight targets over the last two weeks, but you can't forget that Tate missed last week's game, the one he saw eight targets in. There are many variables in the projection of these two, but the worst-case scenario would be that Engram plays in a limited role. That's a real possibility that's the case while coming off a multi-week injury. Knowing the Eagles have allowed the ninth-fewest points to the position, you should probably use that as your excuse to avoid the situation all together. If Engram plays, he's a risky low-end TE1.

Evan Engram (foot) logs limited practice Thursday

Giants tight end Evan Engram logged a limited practice on Thursday as he continues to deal with a foot injury. He has not played since Week 9 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Engram's practice status has him trending towards playing this week, but it will be hard to trust the young tight end in fantasy considering he does not play until Monday night against the Eagles. Monitor his status heading into the weekend.
