Engram got more open than any tight end in football last year, with 4.58 yards of average separation and a 6.77 cushion that both ranked first among qualified tight ends, largely because Denver threw to him 4.3 yards downfield on average, the shallowest aDOT of any qualified TE. That combination should produce a near-automatic catch rate, and instead he caught 65.8 percent with eight drops, a 10.5 percent drop rate that ranked third worst at the position. He drew 76 targets, a 13 percent share, on just 42 percent of the snaps, usage worth about 87 expected points, and scored 78 with one touchdown all season. What's left is a 31-year-old part-timer catching wide-open flips and leaving points on the field, in an offense Vegas prices 25th by implied totals at 21.3. The consensus projection of roughly 90 points (half-PPR) at TE30 assumes the role holds and the drops regress, which is plausible, and at an ADP of 254 you pay nothing to find out. Just know the upside case needs either more snaps or more touchdowns, and 2025 offered no evidence of either.

  "digest": "Evan Engram quiet in loss Sunday — Engram had another disappointing performance despite seeing five targets. Turning those opportunities into just one catch for six yards isn't going to get it done for fantasy managers. The target volume at least gives him something to build on, but Engram will be difficult to trust in 12-team leagues or shallower until he starts producing more with his opportunities.",
