GottaGetTheWin 2,292 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Sterling Shepard may help. Look at his targets over the season... Week 1- 7 Week 2 - 8 Week 3 - 5 Week 4 - 10 Week 5 - 2 Week 6 - 3 The first quarter of the year he was on fire. Maybe with Barkley out, Shepard out, and Tate not being worth a s**t that defenses started shifting more attention that way? I honestly haven't watched the games so I don't know. It's just a theory. Maybe when Shepard comes back it may open some things up slightly for him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it has any legs, but this place called the Trai Turner trade before it even happened. Either way, I think Engram is a very likely candidate to get moved at some point because Giants only have like 5 picks this draft and need to accumulate more bad. I've heard the new Giants regime are not huge Engram fans and would like to move him as well. I have no idea if it's true though. Pairing Samuel with Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate makes little sense but that's another story. Engram is badly in need of a change of scenery. He's a poor blocker and that is not going to endear him to a lot of coaches. I think it's gotten in his head some as well. He still has huge potential as a receiver if he can find the right fit and a situation where he is almost exclusively a reciever. He really is a wide reciever who got a little too big and someone made him a TE. Interestingly enough Chase Claypool's is he a WR or TE thing kind of reminded me of Engram when he was being scouted for this year's draft. Claypool was ultimately put in the right position and Engram wasn't to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hops 141 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Why do I always feel the need to start a Thursday night player to have part of the action? It makes me keep trying to convince myself that Engram is going to break out tonight, and that I should start him over better Sunday options 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TeeGee60 388 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 After the first series is usually the when the instant regret starts to creep up the back of the neck... something like sack, sack, 4 yard catch to Karden smith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trilly 246 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 At least my hopes are non-existent now because he doesn't even get the targets. My league hardly has warm bodies available so I'm on this pain train with you guys. Choo choo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

young dude 534 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Sick but I'm personally starting over Jonnu Smith.. If he craps this matchup it's bench time ROS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King Gonzo 147 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Spent 20 minutes trying to remember my password just I could make a comment on this bum. Dropped pass for an INT and another dropped pass for the loss, smh. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilikepieman 112 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Every week... 4.9 points in standard tonight Honestly though, the usage was back up, he even had a red zone carry and a red zone target iirc. Ultimately hard to be that disappointed with 6/46 on 9 targets plus the 2 carries, especially considering how the year has gone so far. He won't make up his draft day value but I think you're probably starting him unless you're lucky enough to have picked up or traded for someone better. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TeeGee60 388 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I can’t believe they put him back on the field... they never threw to him over the middle the entire night. I don’t know what happened to te post routes but they only throw it to golden Tate or sterling shepherd. They finally gave him the big pass and tucking chokes... hope he becomes a better player on the ravens next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I decided to let it go finally this year as I was doing my researching during draft season. I would still love to see him get moved to see if that can get him going. That team/organization he plays for is in bad shape and he's had to deal with so many injuries as well. I want to see a fresh start.
