Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

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.

Strange has actually looked pretty good in the Engram role, and can be considered a streaming option after compiling 12 targets over the last two games.

If one is "hopeful" and the other is "further away" we might be able to surmise that Engram won't be suiting up for Week 3. Strange had a nice showing in Week 2, taking his six targets for a 3-65-0 stat line. He should only be considered in very deep leagues.

The Jaguars said TE Evan Engram is week to week with a hamstring injury.

Normally week to week can possibly indicate some missed time ahead, but HC Doug Pederson said he's optimistic Engram could play in Week 3. Unfortunately for owners, the Jags are one of two Monday night games in Week 3, so owners will likely need a backup plan and to monitor Engram's status this week. Strange was targeted six times in the loss and caught three passes for 65 yards. Based on that, he could make for a decent replacement option if owners are in a pinch.

Engram had a fantastic 2022 season, setting career highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (766). This was after years as a notoriously inefficient fantasy piece with the New York Giants, consistently ranking near the bottom of the league in yards per target. Doug Pederson's tight-end-friendly offense turned that around, making him '22's overall TE6 in half PPR scoring.

Ahead of this season, the target tree could very well shrink with Calvin Ridley back from suspension, but Engram should absolutely be considered a top-10 option.
