Evan Engram’s Fantasy Outlook
We can give Evan Engram credit for playing through a calf injury, but unless I’m missing something and his points are multiplied by a grittiness factor, Week 2 was a tough showing.
While he ran 10 more routes than Adam Trautman, he earned one fewer target and wasn’t an option in the red zone. I’d blame the injury, but he wasn’t holding a full-time role pre-injury in Week 1 and that has me seriously worried about my pro-Engram stances this offseason.
Is Bo Nix in danger of a C.J. Stroud-like sophomore season? He’s played well for one of four halves this season, and if he is, Engram is going to struggle to return startable value at the position.
I’m holding for now, potentially in an act of stubbornness. The tight end position isn’t pretty as you move down the ranks, and with the Chargers on a shortened week this week and then an extra day to prepare for the Bengals on Monday night, Engram has two more chances to show me something before I file for divorce.
