Evan Engram Week 7 Outlook - Patriots at Jaguars

All Evan Engram did after missing over a month was secure all 10 of Trevor Lawrence's targets for 102 yards. Sure, he lost a fumble, but he finished as the overall TE5 for the week. More importantly, the volume was a great sign for Engram's outlook going forward. Remember that Engram caught 114 passes a year ago. That was the second-most by a tight end in NFL history. Engram and the Jaguars host the New England Patriots in Week 7. The Patriots have allowed the ninth-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends this year. Even against a weak New England offense, Jacksonville's porous defense should force them to continue to throw. Because of that, Engram is a threat to pace the position in receptions when healthy.
