BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram went right back to his old ways, becoming a target monster in Week 6. After a disappointing debut and a four-week absence due to a hamstring injury, Engram is now healthy again, and was a key component to the Jags offense last Sunday.

10 targets for a tight end is unicorn-level numbers. You cannot leave him on the bench. It's possible this was an outlier performance since the Chicago Bears, their opponent last week is one of the best at shutting down opposing wide receivers. Jacksonville was also forced into a pass-heavy game plan in the blowout loss.
That said, he was a fantastic fantasy tight end last year, and he may be picking up where he left off. He has trust and chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence and is clearly a big part of the offensive scheme.
Start him.
