The Denver Broncos (3-2) will visit the New York Jets (0-5) in Week 6. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Evan Engram in Week 6?
He scored!
That was good to see, but we are still talking about a tight end who has yet to reach 35 receiving yards and is picking up just five yards per target and has yet to play the majority of snaps in any of Denver’s games this season.
I want to believe. I really do. Troy Franklin has looked good at moments, but I think the Broncos are a good team and I think their secondary role next to Courtland Sutton is wide open.
Evan Engram was brought in to be that person, and I’ll be buying back in if he can build on the 13 targets he’s earned on 50 routes back from injury this week. After this matchup, games against the Giants, Cowboys, Texans, and Raiders loom.
I’m proceeding with cautious optimism. If you have room to stash him off the wire this week, I would. I wouldn’t force the issue in a less than ideal spot, and he’s ranked outside of my top 15 this week, but I’m open to the idea of returning to the low-end TE1 tier if we get a third straight week of 6+ targets.
