ArticleWeek 1 From A to Z: The Gut Check No.687September 16, 2026

From the article

Considering his Week 1, and the ease that you can stream tight ends during the opening weeks of a fantasy season, I'd consider it. I was already publicly considering it in my preseason rankings because of the spacing issues Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, and Pat Bryant present to a defense.

Engram's waiver value supported by Waddle/Sutton spacing mismatches.

Engram is worth considering off waivers given the ease of streaming tight ends early in the season. Waldman was already publicly considering him in preseason rankings due to spacing issues created by Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, and Pat Bryant. When defenses focus on Waddle and Sutton, it creates mismatches and coverage mistakes that benefit Engram, who can run free.
