START ‘EM
player. 31. . Tight End. Giants. Evan Engram. 4
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure this is the first time a member of the New York Giants has appeared on my Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em pieces. While a lot of people are probably wondering why a Giant is on the Start ‘Em section, let me explain.
Evan Engram is worthy of a start this week because of one big thing: The Giants lost four receivers last week. Eli Manning has very little viable options in the passing game and that’s where Engram steps in.
Sure, it’s tough to rely on rookie tight ends, but Engram will be Manning’s go-to guy in Denver this weekend. The Broncos aren’t the best at defending tight ends, allowing 15.1 PPR fantasy points to tight ends so far this season, according to Michael Fabiano of NFL.com.
While that goose egg Engram got your squad a week ago could linger when setting your lineups this weekend, try and look past it. This should be a good match-up for the rookie tight end.
