Evan Engram Week 9 Outlook - Jaguars at Eagles

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last year without Christian Kirk, Engram went nuts as the TE3 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 25.5% target share and 25.6% first-read share with 1.79 YPRR. Engram has more target competition this season, but his usage is about to spike massively starting in Week 9. Since Week 3, Philly has transitioned to a two-high heavy secondary with the sixth-highest rate (54%). Against two high, Engram has led the way with a 22.6% target share, 1.70 YPRR, and a 23.8% first-read share. Engram should be the first person Lawrence is looking for this week when he drops back to pass. Philly has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards and the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends, but it might not matter this week with how much volume Engram should see in Week 9.
