Fantasy Football: 4 Things We Learned From Week 4

Evan Engram Looks Like the Real Deal

The 2017 NFL draft class was loaded at tight end. Big names like David Njoku and O.J. Howard drew plenty of hype in the offseason. Few, if any fantasy football analysts predicted that New York Giants newcomer Evan Engram would be a useful option in his rookie year.

Even though he put up some nice receiving numbers at Ole Miss, he had blocking issues, so there were concerns about how much time he'd see on the field.

The problem, it turns out, might be getting him off the field. Engram's 30 targets through four games is tied with Rob Gronkowski for the 2nd-most in the league at the position.

Engram is playing 81.32% of his team's offensive snaps. Volume is hard to come by at tight end, and the rookie is getting plenty of it, so if he's on your waiver wire, pounce.
