Engram?

[sow 0]

Thinking of picking him up and dropping A.Johnson. Will Engram be ready after the bye. If so he should be #1 target for at least 2-3- weeks till DJax is back and servicable after that even. Any word on the ribs and if he'll be ready week 9?

From what I've read, he was running fine but was not ready to take any hard hits. He's expected back after their bye.

Holmgren said the hope is wide receiver Bobby Engram will be back for the next game

Yes....I traded AJ 3 weeks ago and kept Engram throughout his injury. Engram will get 5-8 receptions a game with good yardage. AJ is going nowhere with an injury and the worst offense in football. People need to get over the so called reputation that AJ is a top WR. He's still living on a reputation from 2 years ago.

I just grabbed Engram hoping he comes out of the bye week the starter. Have DJax but am worried as not much good news has come out lately.

 

Dumped AJ 2 weeks ago as I couldn't even package him in a deal.

Definitely. In a PPR league, most definitely.

I think a Gatorade bucket has more potential than A. Johnson at this point--at least one of Carr's errant passes, as he's being flattened once again due to horrid offensive line play, might drop into the bucket for a 20 yard gain.

 

Seriously, though, what surprises me is that Johnson (before his injury) didn't get some "garbage time" receptions with Houston trailing all the time (I heard on the radio that the Texans are the only team never to have had a lead in a game this season--I can't vouch for the accuracy of that comment, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's correct). Any Houston fans out there who can help explain why Johnson(again, pre-injury) became "The Invisible Man" even when the Texans were behind?

I think Engram can be a 2nd half stud. Just look at this schedule after the bye this week. Pretty sexy.

Im hoping so. The Engram owner in my league dropped him to cover a bye and I snatched him up quickly.

 

I think he will be a excellent WR3, and possibly a good WR2 while DJax is out.

Really simple. You can't do anything if your QB doesn't have time to throw down field. Carr is on pace to break the record for number of times sacked in a season. The only thing they can get done is whatever DD gives them in both the running game and the short passing game.
