~ Wide Receiver Effect? ~

For 2019, NYG ranked 10th in TE target rate (24%)

Yes, several key NYG WRs missed games in 2019

- Golden Tate (5)
- Shepard (6)
- Slayton (2)

Did that contribute to Daniel Jones& #39; high TE usage?

~ Wide Receiver Effect? ~

There were 4 games where

- Daniel Jones was starter at QB
- Tate, Shepard & Slayton were active
- One of Engram/Smith was lead TE

Opponents: vs MIN, at CHI, at WAS, vs PHI

FP Scoring from TE:

- 12.55 half ppr p/g (~TE2 - 2019)
- 9 targets p/g

(5/7)

~ Wide Receiver Effect? ~

For reference, highest ranked NYG WR for those 4 weeks:

- vs MIN - Slayton WR16 & Shepard WR40
- at CHI - Tate WR26 & Slayton WR33
- at WAS - Shepard WR9 & Tate WR23
- vs PHI - Tate WR16 & Slayton WR47

WRs were involved but TE usage still high!

~ Conclusion ~

BUY or HOLD Evan Engram

He is top 5 fantasy TE when healthy, but he& #39;s missed 29.1% of his games since entering the NFL.

It& #39;s clear Daniel Jones targets the TE regardless, so make sure to handcuff Engram with Kaden Smith!

Thanks for reading!
