Brenton

Strange

Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He is still working his way back from the hamstring injury he suffered in pre-game warmups before Week 2. Doug Pederson said earlier in the week that the chances of Engram returning on Sunday were “pretty good.” That puts him on the right side of questionable, though he does appear to be a true game-time call. Brenton Strange would get the start if he is ruled out ahead of kickoff. Strange has 12 grabs for 120 yards and a score over the past four weeks.

Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups an hour before Jacksonville’s Week 2 matchup with the Browns. Getting in three limited sessions gives him a good chance of suiting up this week, but fantasy managers will need to check the Jags’ inactives to be sure. If Engram is ruled out before kickoff, Brenton Strange will draw his fourth start of the year.

Trevor Lawrence reportedly told the Andrew Catalon-Devin McCourty-Tiki Barber announcing crew that Strange would “be more involved” today. Strange is a fantasy non-factor until that actually comes true.

Engram hasn’t practiced this week and will presumably miss Friday’s practice as well. The veteran tight end hasn’t played since injuring his hamstring in pre-game warmups before Week 2’s matchup against the Browns. Second-year tight end Brenton Strange has caught five passes for 77 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks and will be a boom-or-bust dart throw for Week 4 against the Texans.

It would have been nice to see Engram practice today but tomorrow’s practice will tell us far more than today’s will. Veterans occasionally receive rest days on Wednesdays, even when healthy. Backup Brenton Strange remains a viable streamer if Engram is sidelined for Week 4.

Strange scored his touchdown in a 34-3 game early in the third quarter. The 23-year-old was filling in for Evan Engram, who is on track to return in Week 4, which means Strange can be left on all waiver wires.

Engram has yet to resume practicing, and the Jags aren’t expecting him to go on Saturday. That leaves Brenton Strange to make another spot start after he surprisingly commanded six targets in Week 2. Seeing as he’s yet to take the field since getting injured in pre-game warmups last Sunday, Engram is not looking like a particularly strong bet to return in Week 4.

Engram was unable to practice, and seems unlikely to be able to play Monday Night against the Bills. With the 30-year-old old seemingly unavailable for that tilt, Brenton Strange will see the bulk of snaps in Engram’s absence, and he’s worth consideration after a good showing in Week 2 against the Browns.

The 2023 second-round pick notched two explosive pass plays in the spot start, with TE Evan Engram sidelined by a hamstring strain suffered in pre-game warmups. Strange could have a similar role against the Bills in Week 3 depending on Engram’s availability. A pumpkin-esque performance is of course possible though. Strange should be rostered in dynasty formats.

Engram wasn’t listed among the team’s inactives but is still out for Week 2. Second-year tight end Brenton Strange should be the next man up, though he and Luke Farrell may ultimately split the tight end snaps for Jacksonville. Strange is almost exclusively a blocking tight end, so fantasy managers can avoid this situation until we get more information. Engram’s absence will open up more shallow looks for the running backs and Christian Kirk.
