Best Pick: Evan Engram
In fantasy circles, many believe that Evan Engram is due for some regression with a healthy Odell Beckham on the outside and rookie Saquon Barkley spearheading a revamped rushing attack. But nabbing Engram at pick 76 is a full round later than his current ADP.
There's no denying that Engram's targets spiked after Beckham went down with an injury in Week 5, but with an increase in offensive efficiency (See Barkley, Saquon) --- and hopefully better play from Eli Manning --- Engram should be able to improve upon a 55.6% catch rate.
As the TE6 in this draft (TE5 now with Hunter Henry going down), Engram is a solid value with big potential in his second NFL season.
