Should You Start or Sit Engram in Week 14?
The beginning of Sunday Night Football was underwhelming to say the least. We had an Evan Engram dropped a pass in the early going and then Bo Nix decided that a bounce pass was the most efficient way to get his tight end the ball in another situation.
He was clearly schemed up by Sean Payton, but for whatever reason, the dots weren’t being connected.
Until they were.
He ended up setting a season high with six receptions (he hadn’t seen six targets in a game since mid-October) and looked like a fluid athlete in space, the exact profile that we drafted him for four months ago.
If you kept him through all of the struggles, you’re a more patient human than I.
Engram has an average depth of target of just 3.3 yards over the past two weeks and while that’s boring, it’s helped him catch 10 passes over that stretch after hauling in just six in his previous three.
He gave us a dud performance in the first Raiders meeting, a thrilling 10-7 win for the Broncos, but my hopes are higher this time around. With the short range role his to lose, I think we see 4-6 catches for 50-ish yard games with regularity moving forward.
That’s the further thing from exciting and we know that Bo Nix can have peaks and valleys, but anything around 10 PPR points from the TE position is viable and will keep you afloat.
