4. James O’Shaughnessy, Jacksonville Jaguars

Rostered: 1.0 percent

James O’Shaughnessy continues to be featured in Jacksonville’s passing offense. Last Sunday, he led the Jaguars’ receivers with 60 receiving yards.

O’Shaughnessy has built a strong connection with rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Unfortunately, the Jaguars’ passing offense has not been great, which has ultimately limited O’Shaughnessy’s overall fantasy appeal.

Regardless, O’Shaughnessy appears to be a lock to receive a nice amount of targets, and he will have upside against the New York Jets, who have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. He is a low-end TE1.

3. Evan Engram, New York Giants

Rostered: 28.0 percent

After a solid fantasy stretch earlier this season, Engram has been underwhelming. He has produced a total of 9.1 fantasy points over his last two games. Still, Engram received nine total targets and he played a total of 106 offensive snaps in those two games.

Engram may not be a consistent fantasy performer, but he will continue to receive consistent opportunities. He has upside this week due to a great matchup against the Eagles, who have given up the most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
