Jaguars: Good chance TE Evan Engram plays Week 6

Oct 07, 2024

After suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener, tight end Evan Engram may be back on the field for the Jaguars when they play the Bears in London on Sunday.

Head coach Doug Pederson provided a positive update on Engram during his Monday news conference, saying he was close to playing in Week 5.

“He got himself into practice a little bit,” Pederson said. “I would anticipate him doing more this week and seeing where he’s at at the end of the week. But I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good.”

Engram had one 5-yard catch in the season-opening loss to Miami before he had to exit the contest. He was a limited participant in practice all three days last week, the story pointed out.

Fantasy Impact:

Ekeler didn't do much with his heightened rushing opportunity last week, going 9-21-0, though he did add four catches for 47 yards, which saved his fantasy day. Both Robinson and Ekeler could be options if they're both at full health in Week 7, as they face off against a Panthers team that has been gashed everywhere and currently rank 32nd in RB aFPA.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans dealing with a "tweaked" leg

#Bucs coach Todd Bowles said WR Mike Evans “tweaked” something in his leg that had been “nagging” but expects him to practice later this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Godwin was already a slam-dunk play in Week 7, but he could very well hit 15 targets if Evans misses. Beyond him, the rest of the receiver room would be (very) desperate plays.
