Evan Engram's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) underwent surgery on Monday to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. It was already announced that Engram would miss the rest of the 2024 season with his injury, but head coach Doug Pederson said he is expected to be back for spring workouts. The 30-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve last weekend, officially ending his season. After a career year in 2023 with the Jags in which he caught 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns, Engram finishes 2024 with 47 catches, 365 receiving yards and only one touchdown in nine starts. It just wasn't meant to be for Jacksonville this year, and it didn't help Engram's cause that quarterback Trevor Lawrence couldn't stay healthy. Engram will be heading into the final year of his three-year, $41.25 million extension in 2025.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) requires surgery and will miss the rest of the season, according to J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars Radio Network. The veteran was second on the team with 64 targets and 47 catches in just nine games played. It's yet another blow for the Jags in a season full of them, as the team also has spent significant portions of the year without stalwarts like quarterback Trevor Lawrence and linebacker Foyesade Oluokon. Now, as the Jags play out the string behind backup quarterback Mac Jones, they'll turn to tight ends Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange to replace Engram. Neither should be on the fantasy radar for the rest of the season, even in deep or TE-premium leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice. Engram will now have one more opportunity on Friday to return to the field to potentially avoid an injury designation. Head coach Doug Pederson noted earlier in the week that he expects his top tight end to be ready for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. However, fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as Engram may have faced a potential setback. Last weekend, Engram brought in four of his six targets for 33 yards. While he has not produced as well as he did last season, the veteran tight end is still seeing a high volume of targets (7.5 per game), which should make him a low-end TE1 in all matchups. This weekend, he faces a tough New York secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.
