Now that free agency, the NFL Draft, and the schedule release have all passed, we have our initial layout in place in team depth charts and strength of schedule. With that, we want to take a look at some players across the fantasy landscape that are either polarizing, over or undervalued, or just interesting topics of discussion and walk through some pros and cons of where those players are regarded in fantasy circles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far we have explored players such as <\/span>Kenyan Drake<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Austin Ekeler<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Marquise Brown<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Tyler Higbee<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Mecole Hardman<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> Nick Chubb<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>the trio of<\/span> DeVante Parker, Preston Williams <\/b>and <\/span>Mike Gesicki<\/b><\/a> , <\/span>D.J. Chark<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Odell Beckham<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Aaron Jones<\/b><\/a>,\u00a0 <\/span>Leonard Fournette<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Amari Cooper<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Cooper Kupp<\/b><\/a>, and <\/span>Derrick Henry<\/b><\/a>. For this installment, we are looking into <\/span>Evan Engram<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the Dynasty ADP app available at <\/span>RotoViz<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 we are seeing Engram has been in an extended holding period, hovering in the pick 60-70 range since the end of 2018. Fantasy players have kept an interest in Engram because of his stellar athleticism and upside at the position, but the wait on his ceiling potential has been slowed by injuries, uneven play, meandering quarterback play, and some frustrating deployment in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

Engram is entering his fourth season in 2020. Despite some of the shortcomings we will jump into, Engram has been a strong fantasy asset to start his career. He is coming off career-highs in receptions (5.5) and receiving yardage (58.4 yards) per game. Since the 1970 NFL merger, just 15 tight ends in league history have scored more PPR points over their first three NFL seasons than Engram while Engram ranks eighth among all of those players in points per game (12.0). This the company he is keeping on a point ger game basis through three NFL seasons:<\/span><\/p>\n
