Evan Engram Potentially Returning From Injury In Week 5 Against Colts

Evan Engram Potentially Returning From Injury In Week 5 Against Colts

2 months ago

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) is officially questionable heading into Sunday's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts after limited participation in practice all week. The star tight end hasn't played since Week 1, and the Jaguars offense has suffered without him. Brenton Strange has been a solid replacement but hasn't come close to the production Engram was expected to provide entering the season. While the former New York Giant had only one catch in Week 1, fantasy managers should be happy to start him if he returns from injury. His upside is higher than most alternative tight ends, which is all fantasy managers can really rely on at the position so far this season. Engram will have to compete with receivers Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Jr. for targets, but his red-zone threat is something the team sorely lacks without him. The offense has steadily improved week-to-week, meaning Week 5 against a poor Colts pass defense could be the perfect week for Engram to return from injury with a bang.
