Engram's return to the Broncos offense has been slower than hoped. Week 1 yielded 3 catches for 21 yards, but a calf issue limited him in Week 2 to 1 grab for 12 on two targets as Denver eases him back. Bo Nix noted the plan is to stay patient and let opportunities come, while Indy’s defense keyed on Sutton and Engram. That pressure opened the door for Troy Franklin, who popped with eight catches for 89 and a TD, signaling layered target distribution ahead.

With Engram not yet unleashed, fantasy managers should watch for workload ramp in coming weeks and favorable matchups. If Denver continues to spread targets and Franklin stays involved, Engram’s ceiling could rebound as the offense grows more cohesive, especially in games where the run game stalls the box front. Engram's value remains projectable but contingent on continued involvement.
