2025 Fantasy Outlook
Engram’s hoping a change of scenery from Jacksonville to Denver will help him bounce back from the worst of his eight NFL seasons. He had career highs of 114 catches and 963 yards in 2023, but hamstring and shoulder injuries limited him to nine games and 365 yards in 2024, with his season ending in December when he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum. Engram's production lagged even when he was available, including a career-low 7.8 yards per catch and his second-worst mark for yards per game (40.6). Meanwhile, Denver's 72 passes to tight ends last season were third fewest in the NFL, reflecting the team's lack of a quality pass catcher at the position. Engram should provide a major upgrade on last year's group even though his prime likely is over, providing QB Bo Nix with a reliable target for short passes. A new team also means some chance of increased red-zone usage after seven straight years with four or fewer TDs, although the 6-foot-3, 240-pound TE plays more like an oversized slot receiver than a traditional big-bodied tight end. Engram may need a few more TDs to regain TE1 fantasy value, as he's highly unlikely to approach his outlier 2023 volume and hasn't averaged more than 10.6 yards per catch since 2018.

Building momentum with new team
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Engram (shoulder), who has been an active participant at OTAs, has shown "real good instincts" at practice, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Engram said Thursday he feels "the potential is through the roof" for second-year quarterback Bo Nix, per DiLalla, and the veteran tight end projects to be a significant part of the young signal-caller's Year 2 development. Now fully recovered from the hamstring and labrum injuries that limited him to nine regular-season appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Engram is entrenched as Denver's top tight end above Adam Trautman, and he's staring down a seemingly straightforward path to emerging as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind top wideout Courtland Sutton. Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin project as complementary options and are joined by rookie third-rounder Pat Bryant, but Engram is clearly the Broncos' most proficient target outlet for short passes, even if his prime is in the past as he enters his age-31 season. Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports that Engram's usage at OTAs suggests a key role in the passing game.

2017
Engram led all tight ends in both targets (143) and catches (114) last year, which helped him to a career high for receiving yards (963) in addition to those two aforementioned categories. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound tight end is one of the fastest players at his position and excels at getting open on short routes, but he's never been much of a downfield or red-zone threat like many of the league's larger tight ends. He hasn't scored more than four touchdowns in a season since he had six as a rookie in 2017, and his 10 red-zone targets last year were tied for 14th among tight ends. On a more positive note, the butter fingers that plagued Engram in New York haven’t followed him to Jacksonville, where he's dropped only eight of 241 targets through two years (though he fumbled three times last season). The Jaguars made big changes to their receiving corps in the offseason, but it's hard to say how that affects Engram, if at all, with Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas replacing Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones. A healthier year from WR Christian Kirk might have more impact on Engram's volume given that both compete for short targets, whereas Davis and Thomas figure to run a lot of deep routes. Engram probably won't score many touchdowns or match last year's volume, but he's still a good bet to rank among the TE leaders in catches and targets, making him a solid starter for PPR formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excited about Broncos prospects
Engram, who signed with the Broncos as a free agent this offseason, is excited about the potential of second-year quarterback Bo Nix and the team's offense as a whole, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A combination of a clean bill of health after hamstring and shoulder injuries with the Jaguars in 2024 helped limit him to nine games and his new surroundings has Engram singing an optimistic tune. The veteran tight end, who's already earned the praise of head coach Sean Payton for his work during OTAs, cited the energy and vibe attached to "the team, front office and coaching staff" as some of the primary reasons why he opted to sign with Denver, and he also heaped praise on Nix for everything from his work ethic and leadership to on-field abilities.
