Engram set a new career high with 114 receptions in 2023 as the Jaguars were dealt a blow on the injury front when Christian Kirk went down. This led to Engram finishing as the TE2 overall and a borderline weekly winner in PPR leagues. The Jaguars offense is expected to take a more vertical approach in 2024 with an improved offensive line plus the additions of Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas at WR. The return of Kirk should also eat into Engram's role. Engram's target share should dip, but this is already accounted for in his ADP. Engram can be had in the Rounds 9-10 range of your drafts and will likely return value at that price even if his receptions take a step back.
Can Engram match an awesome 2023 that saw him finish just two catches shy of Jimmy Smith's single-season franchise record for receptions? Adding to the historic nature of last season, Engram also produced the fewest yards ever for a player with at least 114 catches, so there's that. Engram's constant command of Trevor Lawrence's attention led to a career year, in which he finished as TE2. Gone are Calvin Ridley's 136 targets from last season, so Engram is again set for a sizable stake in this passing game in 2024. Even with some regression possible in the target and reception departments, Engram is the rare early-round tight end in fantasy with an entirely reasonable projection for at least 120 looks in this offense.
