Evan Engram

Engram's hoping a change of scenery from Jacksonville to Denver will help him bounce back from the worst of his eight NFL seasons. He had career highs of 114 catches and 963 yards in 2023, but hamstring and shoulder injuries limited him to nine games and 365 yards in 2024, with his season ending in December when he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum. Engram's production lagged even when he was available, including a career-low 7.8 yards per catch and his second-worst mark for yards per game (40.6). Meanwhile, Denver's 72 passes to tight ends last season were third fewest in the NFL, reflecting the team's lack of a quality pass catcher at the position. Engram should provide a major upgrade on last year's group even though his prime likely is over, providing QB Bo Nix with a reliable target for short passes. A new team also means some chance of increased red-zone usage after seven straight years with four or fewer TDs, although the 6-foot-3, 240-pound TE plays more like an oversized slot receiver than a traditional big-bodied tight end. Engram may need a few more TDs to regain TE1 fantasy value, as he's highly unlikely to approach his outlier 2023 volume and hasn't averaged more than 10.6 yards per catch since 2018.
