News: 1 day agoEngram secured all 10 targets for 102 yards and lost a fumble in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.

Spin: Engram led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The veteran tight end's instant chemistry with Trevor Lawrence was encouraging but not necessarily surprising given their body of work in 2023, and despite the team's overall struggles, Engram appears set to offer above-average fantasy production at the always fickle tight end position moving forward. Engram will aim to carry over the momentum into a second straight London matchup against the Patriots in Week 7.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Can Engram match an awesome 2023 that saw him finish just two catches shy of Jimmy Smith's single-season franchise record for receptions? Adding to the historic nature of last season, Engram also produced the fewest yards ever for a player with at least 114 catches, so there's that. Engram's constant command of Trevor Lawrence's attention led to a career year, in which he finished as TE2. Gone are Calvin Ridley's 136 targets from last season, so Engram is again set for a sizable stake in this passing game in 2024. Even with some regression possible in the target and reception departments, Engram is the rare early-round tight end in fantasy with an entirely reasonable projection for at least 120 looks in this offense.
