Outlook Evan Engram
Rising Draft Stock Positions Veteran Tight End as an Intriguing Late-Round Sleeper
Engram enters his second year with Denver listed behind Adam Trautman on the depth chart, but his passing-game utility remains his calling card. Following a 50-catch, 461-yard campaign in 2025, our models project him for 43 receptions, 391 yards, and two touchdowns. He will share targets with Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle under quarterback Bo Nix.
His market value is experiencing significant momentum. After languishing with an ADP around the late-280s for much of May, his draft cost has spiked sharply to 193 overall. This sudden rise reflects growing fantasy manager interest, as his roster ownership climbed from 23% to 31% over the last month, highlighting his potential as a late-round sleeper.
Our projections place his value at 93.4 PPR points. While he is unlikely to replicate his peak 114-catch season from his Jacksonville days, his current price makes him a low-risk depth piece. He represents a stable, cheap TE2 option for managers deploying a late-round tight end draft strategy.

Outlook Zach Ertz
Veteran Tight End Seeks Comeback After ACL Tear But Remains Fantasy Afterthought
Zach Ertz is determined to return to the gridiron in 2026 following a season-ending ACL tear in 2025. At 35 years old, the veteran tight end is currently a free agent, though he has openly expressed a desire to return to the Philadelphia Eagles for a final run. Before his injury last year, Ertz remained a reliable target, catching 50 passes for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games.
Without a team, his current fantasy football value is minimal. His roster ownership has steadily declined from 43% down to 31% over the past month as fantasy managers pivot toward healthier options. While his 13 years of experience and past chemistry in Philadelphia could make him an interesting late-season addition if signed, he is currently nothing more than a deep-league stash.
Fantasy managers should avoid drafting Ertz in standard formats until he signs with a team and proves his health. If he does find a home, our models project him as a low-end streaming option rather than a weekly starter.
