4. Top Fantasy Football Pickups For Week 3 – Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram

There may not have been a more stunning result in Week 4 than Indianapolis getting shut out in Jacksonville by the Jaguars. The Colts haven’t won a game in Jacksonville since 2014, a streak that is both mind-boggling and amazing at the same time considering the Jaguars’ ineptitude over that span.

Doug Pederson’s team got plenty of contributions in their win, including a strong day from Engram. Trevor Lawrence looked Engram’s way eight times and he caught seven of them for 46 yards, which is no small feat considering Engram’s history of drops with the New York Giants.

The talent is still there for Engram, who was a first-round pick in New York, and perhaps a change of scenery will unlock his full potential. Tight end is also a relative wasteland outside of the top options so any tight end who averages six targets a game is worth rostering if you aren’t getting much out of your current options.

The book isn’t out on Engram yet, who is rostered in just 20 percent of Yahoo leagues, so now may be a good time to get in on the ground floor. Getting six targets a game should offer a nice floor for Engram, who can find his way to starter status if he starts getting looks in the red zone.
