The Top TEs To Start in Week 5
Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense may be off to a slow start, but the same can’t be said for tight end Evan Engram.

Engram is yet to finish outside of the top 10 at TE in PPR formats to start the season. This is because he has caught five passes every game while seeing eight targets for three straight weeks.
Jacksonville’s WRs have been a bit more volatile this season, but Engram has been a consistent producer every week and should continue to be a reliable starting option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5.
Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals
Someone needs to explain why Zach Ertz keeps qualifying for this sleeper article every week.
Ertz is currently the TE10 in PPR formats and has caught six passes in three games this season.
Ertz ranks second amongst tight ends with 30 targets and fourth in receptions (20).
If he can start finding the end zone in 2023, Ertz could start producing top-seven finishes at the position with this type of volume.
