Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 7

Evan Engram – Targeting tight ends against the Arizona defense is basically a lock for 15 free points each and every week. Austin Hooper just dominated that defense, scoring over 20 points on Sunday. Engram has actually had two sub-par performances in a row, before sitting out in week six due to a knee injury. He has said that he is very optimistic that he will be ready for this Sunday’s feast against the Cardinals. He did some light work on Monday, doing some individual drills. If by Wednesday, or Thursday he is able to participate with the rest of the team, I would fully expect him to suit up.

Assuming that he does play, Arizona gives up the most points in the league against opposing tight ends, with a 23.6% DVOA against the pass, good for 27th in the league. Engram actually leads the team in targets, at 48, with over 300 yards, and two scores. This is a no brainier play, regardless of his recent form. The two bad games has actually kept his price far lower than it should be on FanDuel, at 6.8k. This is just another reason that we have to play Engram. He should be higher owned, but this isn’t an ownership article. Evan will bounce back in a big way come Sunday.
