The Denver Broncos (1-2) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) in Week 4. 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 4?
Engram is not on the injury report and is expected to play in Week 4.
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 Evan Engram in Week 4?
A calf injury was ailing Evan Engram entering Week 2, and while he seemed to heal up OK from that, an achy back cost him Week 3.
We talk all the time about Father Time and his impact, but this man has been 31 years of age for less than a month, and the injuries have piled up. Engram missed eight games last season after consecutive full campaigns, and while it’s too early to call this a lost season, things are certainly trending away from one of my favorite mid-range tight ends this summer.
You hate to see it.
You’re going to make ranking errors. Everybody does. This is a crazy game that involves 100+ car crashes on a weekly basis. Successful fantasy managers don’t avoid errors; they are the ones who react best around the landmines.
I’m keeping Engram in my IR slot as long as I can. I’ll be stubborn in thinking that there could be something here in an offense I expect to look better with time, but at this point, that would be a “nice to have.” At this point, I’m considering Engram a stash and counting on someone else as my weekly option at the position until we get evidence suggesting otherwise.
