I know it will feel like a cruel joke now, but @CecilLammey brought up multiple times in the offseason that Evan Engram could be the player freed up for more production by the Jaylen Waddle trade. Don't shoot the messenger.

Kansas City TE Evan Engram was the only offensive player generating consistent production for the Chiefs in Week 1 Monday Night Football, with some support from RJ Harvey in the run game; this limited offensive output suggests Kansas City's linebackers remain vulnerable in coverage, making George Kittle and the 49ers' rushing attack key fantasy factors for their Week 16 matchup.

Kenneth Walker recommends Evan Engram anytime touchdown at +475 (DraftKings). Engram scored just one touchdown in his first season with Denver despite 50 catches on 76 targets, but all Denver tight ends combined had five touchdowns on 70 targets in 2024 under Sean Payton's offense. With the assumption of at least the usual workload, Engram should score around a quarter of the time, making fair odds closer to +300, so +475 is overpriced.

Evan Engram is a great sleeper and streaming tight end option for Week 1, ranked TE27/152 overall. Last year was disappointing and he is on the waiver wire in many leagues. With Brock Bowers missing time after a meniscus trim, owners are scrambling to replace their early-round star. While Michael Mayer (ranked 166) is the easiest replacement, savvy owners have already snagged him. Denver has news that the goal is to get Engram more touches, which will help owners fill the void left by Bowers and possibly lead to seasonal success.
