Both Evan Engram and Gabe Davis are officially active for Jacksonville’s game against Chicago in London, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Both Engram and Davis were listed as questionable on the injury report</p><p>This is great news for a Jacksonville team that is going up against a stout Chicago defense. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-evan-engram-injury-return-promising-pederson-update">Getting Evan Engram back is particularly good news</a>. Engram has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss most of the 2024 season thus far. In fact, Engram only has one catch for five yards on the year. Adding a healthy Evan Engram to the Jaguars offense should be huge, especially considering he hauled in 114 receptions for 963 yards and four touchdowns in 2023.</p><p>Gabe Davis is more of a tertiary piece for the Jaguars, but adding him alongside Engram should put additional stress on the Bears’ defense.</p><h2><b>Jaguars owner throws support behind Doug Pederson despite slow start</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doug-Pederson-is-short-on-answers-with-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-reasons-jaguars-shouldnt-fire-doug-pederson-after-0-4-start-to-season">Jaguars coach Doug Pederson feels like he is on the hot seat already</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pedersons-strange-reaction-to-job-status-question">Pederson has already received questions about his job security</a> after Jacksonville’s slow 1-4 start to the 2024 season.</p><p>Thankfully, Jaguars owner Shad Khan <a href="https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/nfl/jaguars/2024/10/12/shad-khan-jacksonville-jaguars-outlook-supports-doug-pederson-trent-baalke/75644675007/" rel="noopener">sounds like he still believes</a> in Pederson. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-owner-throws-support-behind-doug-pederson-despite-slow-start-2024-campaign">Khan threw his support behind Pederson</a> in a recent interview before the team’s first London game of the season.</p><p>“I still believe in them. I believe in the players, I believe in the coaching staff. I believe in Trent [Baalke],” Khan said, per The Florida Times-Union. “Obviously, the results are disappointing for all of them, just as well as me or any other Jaguar fan, but, the key thing one has to understand [is] we have evolved and really got to a level. I think we’ve got the players, we’ve got the coaching, we’ve got the facilities.”</p><p>This is good to hear from Khan. However, just because he supports Pederson does not mean there aren’t immense expectations on the Jaguars.</p><p>“I expect us to be competitive and winning every year and we have graduated to that point and not be someone we don’t know. So, sharing my expectations, I believe that,” Khan added. “The coaches who are there, players who are there, they’re coming here to win and if they’re not comfortable with that, they shouldn’t be here.

As they try to roll that momentum over into this week, they got some positive injury news.</p><p>Head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that tight end Evan Engram, one of the Jaguars’ best pass catchers, is <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1843375937439793269" rel="noopener">likely to play</a> this week, courtesy of ESPN’s Adam Schefter. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-evan-engram-concerning-week-5-injury-update">Engram has been out since Week 1</a> due to a hamstring injury.</p><p>“I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good,” Pederson said, per Schefter.</p><p>The Jags could be adding Engram back into the offense at just the right time. They found something that worked on Sunday as they exploded for 37 points, marking really the first time this season that the offense has consistently been able to find answers. Adding an explosive weapon like Engram should only help them on that side of the ball.</p><p>Engram is coming off of the best season of his career in 2023, where he caught 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns. He has become one of Trevor Lawrence’s favorite targets, and the two will see if they can keep that connection going in Week 6.</p><h2><b>Jags head to friendly London looking to build win streak</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union</figcaption></figure><p>The Jaguars still have a long ways to go if they want to reach their goals and make the playoffs this season, but Sunday was a good start on the right path. Picking top a win over a division rival is always a positive, even if there were concerning elements of the game.</p><p>The offense has to be the main takeaway for Doug Pederson and company. Coming into Sunday’s game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/is-trevor-lawrence-or-doug-pederson-more-to-blame-for-jaguars-awful-0-4-start">Trevor Lawrence and the Jags had failed to score</a> more than 20 points in a game, but they blew up for 37 points against the Colts. They may have found something in the run game with Tank Bigsby getting a majority of the snaps instead of Travis Etienne Jr. Bigsby ran wild with 101 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Etienne was not as effective, with 17 yards on six carries.</p><p>Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. continued his phenomenal first season, finishing with five catches for 122 yards and an 85-yard touchdown. Lawrence looked much more comfortable and was operating at a high level at quarterback.</p><p>The defense was a major problem still, and getting carved up by a Colts offense without Anthony Richardson or Jonathan Taylor is not a good look. However, the vibes of getting a win should be a big boost for the Jaguars. They will get a chance to pick up their second win in a row in London against the Chicago Bears, where the offense will try to keep all of that momentum rolling.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Two weeks in, though, this offense looks to still be nosediving.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection, who did not practice all week, is <a href="https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1837512324447408260" rel="noopener">expected to miss</a> the Monday Night Football matchup with a hamstring injury, according to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.</p><p>Engram was a late scratch in last Sunday’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-most-to-blame-for-week-2-loss-to-browns">18-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns</a> after getting hurt in pregame warmups. Although he registered just one catch for five yards in the season opener, the former first-round draft pick has been a valuable component of Jacksonville’s passing attack over the last two years.</p><p>Despite not being employed in many high-yardage situations, Engram was a target magnet in 2023-24. His career-high 114 receptions trailed only CeeDee Lamb, Tyreek Hill and Amon-Ra St. Brown. When a play does not develop as intended, Lawrence relies on his safety net to eat up some yards. Without Engram on the field versus Cleveland, the fourth-year quarterback struggled mightily and completed only 46.7 percent of his pass attempts.</p><p>That cannot happen against the Bills. Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson and offensive coordinator Press Taylor must solve the problems that continue to plague Lawrence and company dating back to last year. The entire organization will be faced with extremely uncomfortable questions if Jacksonville falls to 0-3.</p><p>With the team already in desperation mode in Week 3 of the season, one can imagine how frustrating it is for Evan Engram to know he is unlikely to suit up in this must-win game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Making matters worse, Jaguars tight end Evan Engram, who missed Week 2’s matchup against the Browns, doesn’t seem any closer to returning to action for Jacksonville when Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1836782344801317359" rel="noopener">provided an update</a> on his starting tight end, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>“Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says TE Evan Engram, who injured his hamstring in pre-game warmups on Sunday, “is a little bit further away.” Sounds like at least very much up in the air for MNF.”</p><p>After Sunday’s loss, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-provides-evan-engram-injury-update">Pederson was optimistic about Engram’s potential return</a> from his hamstring injury for Week 3.

He then covered FAU Sports for The Palm Beach Post.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Other Sports</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-vs-jaguars-prediction-odds-pick-for-nfl-week-2-2024">the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Cleveland Browns Sunday afternoon</a>, they have received word that tight end Evan <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-evan-engrams-big-goal-for-2024-season">Engram who had big goals for the season</a> will be <a href="https://x.com/JaguarsPR/status/1835347737576919117" rel="noopener">out with a hamstring injury</a> according to the team’s PR department on X, formerly Twitter. Per the post, Engram suffered the injury during pregame warmups which is no doubt a frustrating development for the Jaguars.</p><p>“TE Evan Engram sustained a hamstring injury in pregame warmups and has been ruled out for today’s game,” the post said on the social media account.</p><p>Engram is one of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s favorite targets on the field and against a strong Browns defense, it’s a huge blow for the team. Last week in the opening loss to the Miami Dolphins, 20-17, Engram only caught one pass for five yards on four targets as it was a sluggish day on offense for Jacksonville as a whole.</p><p>There is no doubt though that when Engram comes back from injury depending on the severity of the hamstring injury, he will be a main factor of their offense as last year recorded his best season with 963 yards on 114 catches along four touchdowns. Going into this season, he mentioned how he has the ability to make plays down the field on top of being Lawrence’s <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40343907/jaguars-te-evan-engram-wants-become-deep-threat-2024-season" rel="noopener">“security blanket”</a> according to ESPN.</p><p>“My role was underneath being the security blanket for Trevor underneath and getting the ball in my hands fast, getting up field and moving the chains,” Engram said. “I’ve done that really well and I think the next level for me is to improve that intermediate, deep range . . . Making more explosive plays, downfield, more touchdowns, being a bigger red zone target. Those are my goals. I think that can take it to a whole other level.”</p><h2><b>Jaguars’ Evan Engram looks to keep improving after return from injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Evan-Engram-of-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Engram was originally drafted by the New York Giants in the first round in 2017 and after five seasons of inconsistent play, he found some semblance with the Jaguars. At 30-years old now, he wants to keep improving each year and the Ole Miss product is certain he can do that under the coaching staff led by head coach Doug Pederson who also praised what his ceiling can be in the passing game.</p><p>“I want to keep going, I want even more,” Engram said via Michael DiRocco of ESPN. “It’s definitely really cool to put two great seasons together back-to-back. And when you look at the greats that have been through this game that are in the game now, they do that year after year and I definitely feel I’m in the place to be able to do that, in the system to do that, the coaches, the quarterback, the team to continue to do that. So for me, definitely proud of what I put together, but there’s a lot more work to do and a lot more for me to go get.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-brutally-honest-admission">The Jaguars are looking for their first win of the season</a> as they face the Browns, but they will be without Engram as the other tight ends on the depth chart include Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange. Still, the team has other pass-catchers like Christian Kirk, rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and even running back Travis Etienne Jr.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ever since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-cut-candidates-jaguars-roster-nfl-training-camp">he came to Jacksonville</a>, he has been very productive compared to the start of his career, but now he has a new goal heading into the fall.</p><p>While he has been an integral player on the offense used as a safety valve for star quarterback Trevor Lawrence, he wants to be way more than catching short routes. The 29-year old would say that he believes the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40343907/jaguars-te-evan-engram-wants-become-deep-threat-2024-season" rel="noopener">“next level for me is to improve that intermediate, deep range”</a> according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.</p><p>“My role was underneath being the security blanket for Trevor underneath and getting the ball in my hands fast, getting up field and moving the chains,” Engram said. “I’ve done that really well and I think the next level for me is to improve that intermediate, deep range . . .

He caught 114 passes for 963 yards to go along with four touchdowns in 2023, but even the most eye-opening statistics was he would be targeted 143 times which was the most for any tight end in the league.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-owner-blasts-2023-organizational-failure">Jaguars offensive coordinator</a> Press Taylor would mention that while they want him to get him down the field more often, they also feel that Engram getting the “ball as quick as we can” is important to their offense. This could be the reason why even though he has well over 100 receptions, he has not eclipsed 1000 receiving yards which usually happens with those kind of numbers.</p><p>“Evan is such a dynamic ball carrier that a lot of it is to get him the ball as quick as we can, running away from people, but I think an element that he’s always had is getting down the field,” Taylor said via ESPN. “Sometimes it’s trying to find what the matchup is.”</p><p>“When we have a couple schemes where he gets on the second level quickly, he does a pretty good job in that stuff, so that’s something we’re just continuing to try to evolve,” Taylor continued. “But getting him the football quickly, things happen quickly and happen pretty well for him.”</p><h2><b>Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson knows Engram can take that leap</b></h2><p>Another prominent figure <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-owners-immediate-reaction-to-historic-agreement-with-city">within the Jaguars organization that</a> knows Engram can love up to his aspirations is head coach Doug Pederson. He would even say that he is more than “capable” of being a threat down the field, but it us up to himself and the rest of the coaching staff to put “him in that position.”</p><p>“He’s definitely capable of [making plays down the field]. He’s shown that,” Pederson said. “We, as a staff, have got to put him in positions to do that. For a guy like Evan, I think that with his skillset, that would only help us with his ability to get down the field, with his speed, strong to the catch point, all that stuff. Again, I put it more on us as play callers and decision-makers to make sure that we are putting him in that position.”</p><h2><b>Despite career-best seasons, Engram says “there’s a lot more work to do”</b></h2><p>Even with achieving career-highs last season, that is not enough for Engram as he wants to even accomplish even more going in to his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2-jaguars-underrated-sleepers-break-out-2024-nfl-season">third season with the Jaguars</a>. There is no doubt he has improved the past few seasons, but admits that there is “a lot more work to do.”</p><p>“I want to keep going, I want even more,” he said. “It’s definitely really cool to put two great seasons together back-to-back.

Among the players garnering considerable attention is Evan Engram, the talented tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-evan-engrams-3-year-41-million-extension-jaguars" rel="noopener">With a new contract extension</a> and a standout performance in the 2022 season, Engram is poised to be a top pick in many fantasy drafts. In this article, we delve into Engram’s fantasy football outlook for the 2023 season. We will analyze his strengths, weaknesses, and potential for success.</p><h2><b>Engram’s 2022 Season</b></h2><p>Before we delve into Engram’s prospects for the upcoming season, let’s briefly revisit his performance in 2022. Last year proved to be a career-defining season for Engram. He amassed <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/3051876/evan-engram" rel="noopener">a career-high 73 receptions</a> on 98 targets, totaling 766 receiving yards (another career-high) and securing four touchdowns. This remarkable performance solidified Engram’s position as one of the league’s top tight ends. Of course, it also caught the attention of numerous fantasy football players.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Jaguars strike first in London ❗️</p><p>Trevor Lawrence finds Evan Engram for the touchdown.<a href="https://t.co/4MdUKyg2ci">pic.twitter.com/4MdUKyg2ci</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1586717503174082560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 30, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Evaluating Engram’s ADP</b></h2><p>So, where does Engram stand in terms of his fantasy value for the 2023 season? Based on recent drafts, Engram’s current average draft position (ADP) is 166th overall. This makes him the 19th receiver selected in fantasy drafts. This suggests that many leagues are taking him late or even leaving him undrafted. As such, it presents a potential opportunity for shrewd fantasy players to find a hidden gem.</p><p>However, Engram’s ADP is just one aspect to consider when evaluating his fantasy value. It is equally vital to assess his strengths and weaknesses as a player and how they might translate into the fantasy realm. One of Engram’s standout strengths is his ability <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-evan-engram-free-agency-interest-heating-up-with-a-twist" rel="noopener">to make significant plays</a> and accumulate yards after the catch. This could prove invaluable in leagues rewarding points for yardage or receptions.</p><p>On the flip side, Engram’s touchdown production has been somewhat inconsistent throughout his career. That’s a factor of concern for fantasy players who heavily rely on touchdowns for points. Additionally, his occasional struggles with drops could lead to lost points in leagues that penalize him for such errors.</p><h2><b>Comparing Engram’s Performance</b></h2><p>Engram’s performance in the 2022 season was undoubtedly remarkable, achieving career highs in receptions and receiving yards. He earned himself the title of the NFL’s No. 8 tight end according to ESPN’s rankings. Despite this, he didn’t manage to crack the top 10 of CBS Sports’ top tight ends list ahead of the 2023 season. In terms of fantasy football, his ADP being at 166th overall and the 19th receiver selected in fantasy drafts indicates he is being overlooked in many leagues. Right now, other marquee names like Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and TJ Hockenson are still way ahead of him.</p><h2><b>Team Outlook</b></h2><p>The Jacksonville Jaguars had a promising 2022 season, finishing with a record of 9-8. They surprised a lot of people in the playoffs, too, going all the way to the Divisional Round, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Under the leadership of third-<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-leadership-endorsement" rel="noopener">year quarterback Trevor Lawrence</a> and experienced head coach Doug Pederson, the Jaguars demonstrated clear signs of improvement, making them a team on the rise. This upward trajectory bodes well for Evan Engram’s fantasy football outlook for the 2023 season. Given his career-best performance in 2022, Engram may see an increase in targets and opportunities to make significant plays. That’s coupled with the Jaguars’ developing offense and Lawrence’s growth as a quarterback, of course.</p><p>Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge that Engram has yet to crack the top tier of TEs in many draft boards. This suggests lingering skepticism about his consistency and overall value. As such, Engram’s fantasy football outlook will hinge on various factors. This includes his performance in training camp, his role within the Jaguars’ offense, and his ability to capitalize on opportunities. Fantasy managers should closely monitor Engram’s progress and consider his potential upside when making draft decisions for the 2023 season.</p><h2><b>2023 Fantasy Outlook</b></h2><p>In 2022, Evan Engram experienced a career resurgence with the Jaguars. He certainly benefitted from the coaching expertise of Doug Pederson, a renowned “tight end whisperer.” Departing from Jason Garrett’s system, which had miscast him as a tight end suited for stick routes, Engram flourished. Throughout the season, he finished as a TE1 in six games and ranked as the TE7 in points per game in PPR.</p><p>However, consistency remained an issue for Engram, with eight games where he finished outside the top 24 at tight end. This concern could potentially magnify in 2023, especially with the addition of WR Calvin Ridley to the team. As a result, drafting Engram in Round 7 of fantasy drafts could be a reasonable strategy for those seeking to secure a valuable tight end.</p><h2><b>Looking Ahead</b></h2><p>As the 2023 NFL season approaches, Evan Engram is undoubtedly a player capturing the attention of many fantasy football enthusiasts. His stellar performance in the 2022 season and a new contract extension position him as a potentially valuable asset for fantasy players. However, his inconsistent touchdown production and issues with drops warrant careful consideration. Ultimately, whether or not to draft Engram will depend on various factors. This includes league format, scoring system, and individual preferences. One thing is certain: Engram’s fantasy football outlook for the 2023 season is a storyline worth closely monitoring. He is ready to pounce as a game-changer for those who take a chance on him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s also a better blocker than most tight ends with his level of production.</p><p>Engram caught 73 passes for 766 yards (both career highs) and four touchdowns in 2023. While that’s only 45 yards per game, Engram didn’t receive a huge share of targets in his first season in Jacksonville. Engram also showed out in the Jaguars playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He caught seven passes for 93 yards and a touchdown to cap off a strong late-season push.</p><p>In terms of production, a potential $41 million does feel like a lot of money for a player who has never eclipsed 800 yards in a season. However, not every tight end is putting up Travis Kelce numbers. Engram’s receptions and yards both still ranked in the top four at his position. Also, keep in mind that we’re talking about a tight end here, not a first-option receiver.</p><p>Speaking of first-option receivers, Jacksonville is also getting its <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-calvin-ridley-trade-risk" rel="noopener">first taste of Calvin Ridley</a> in a Jags uniform.</p><p>Some forget how good Calvin Ridley is and also the fact that Jacksonville traded for him a year ago. Ridley sat out all of last year on a suspension for gambling, but he’s still just 28. His last full season, Ridley played 15 games and put up 1375 yards and 9 touchdowns.</p><p>Christian Kirk was the Jaguars leading receiver in 2022, with team-highs in targets (133), receptions (84), receiving yards (1108), and receiving touchdowns (8). With Ridley joining the fold, Kirk’s role is likely to decrease. Still, that’s very solid production from the guy who projects to be Jacksonville’s second-option. A trio of Ridley, Kirk and Evan Engram creates a really strong foundation for Trevor Lawrence to work with.</p><p>Jacksonville already won a playoff game last year, and they’re only getting better. The defense needs to improve, which they probably could have addressed more urgently in the draft. However, they opted to draft a tackle in the first round to protect their most valuable asset in Lawrence.</p><p>The AFC South is among the weakest divisions in football, and the Jaguars are building to be the perennial divisional champs. The AFC as a whole is totally stacked and brutal to compete in. However, Lawrence is quickly becoming what he is supposed to be: one of the best quarterbacks in football.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
