He’s caught a healthy 19 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown in 2017.
Fantasy impact: Most experienced fantasy owners know that a road game in Denver doesn’t exactly bring out the best in a team’s offense. That’s what the Giants have to deal with this week.
Normally that would relegate a player like Engram to the bench. Fortunately for his fantasy owners, receivers Odell Beckham Jr., Dwayne Harris and Sterling Sharpe are all going to miss the game.
With the Giants likely starting to think about 2018 as the current season slips away, there’s no reason not to give a guy like Engram lots of opportunities. He’ll be targeted often while outside receivers struggle against Denver’s solid coverage on Sunday.
Recommendation: Start
