The Denver Broncos will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Evan Engram.
Is Evan Engram Playing in Week 17?
Engram is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Broncos’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Engram in Week 17?
I had such high expectations for Evan Engram this season and I was wrong in a major way.
Last week, we did see him nearly double the route count of Adam Trautman, something that wasn’t the case in Week 15, and with Pat Bryant banged up, there’s a theoretical path to him being one of the sneakier plays of the week.
Go this way in a showdown DFS contest or something along those lines: it doesn’t make sense to swallow this amount of risk (one end zone target this season and only one 40+ yard game since mid-October) in a season-long finale.
