The Denver Broncos will host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. 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 11?
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 11?
Evan Engram is still being overrated by the public and I’d hate to see you make that mistake.
His longest reception line last week was set at 14.5 yards: it took him 23 routes and five targets against the Raiders to total 12 yards, never mind on a single play.
We haven’t seen him reach 50 receiving yards in a game this season. Heck, he hasn’t hit 50 air yards in a game this season (five under 20) or seen a single end zone look.
Engram has been on the field for less than half of Denver’s offensive snaps in seven of nine games this season, and while the Bo Nix experience will inevitably come with some spike chances, there’s no evidence that those opportunities are going to the tight end position.
At best, he’s a streamer that you’re hoping on. He’s done nothing with the looks, but he has been targeted on 22% of his routes, a rate that can get him home in a one-game sample should Nix put together four good quarters.
With his playing time and the limitations at the quarterback position, not to mention some youthful upside among the pass-catching nucleus, Engram is firmly a streamer and one that I don’t like to finish as a top 15 producer this weekend.
