Jaguars TE Evan Engram and Raiders RB Josh Jacobs staying put on the franchise tag

Mar 06, 2023

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jaguars have franchise-tagged TE Evan Engram.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders placed the franchise tag on Josh Jacobs.

Fantasy Impact:

As expected. Both players' value get a boost since we now know where they'll be playing in 2023. Expect the Raiders to continue to use Jacobs in a bell-cow role. Engram had his best season in some time playing for HC Doug Pederson and should continue to be a big part of the Jacksonville passing game. Though with Calvin Ridley added to the mix, targets may be harder to come by.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
