The New York Giants might be without tight end Evan Engram Thursday as they take on the New England Patriots.
In addition to WR Sterling Shepard being out Thursday at New England and RB Saquon Barkley being unlikely to play, there’s also a real chance the Giants will be without TE Evan Engram, who is dealing with a sprained MCL, per source. It’ll be a challenge for Engram to play at NE.

Fantasy Impact
No Sterling Shepard, no Saquon Barkley and now likely no Evan Engram. Help us Golden Tate, you’re our only hope! But actually, I’m going to have a hard time starting any receiver against this Patriots secondary. Tate is in line for a whole bunch of work so if you’re in a PPR league and own him, might not be the worst play you can make. Also, if you’re in super deep leagues, go add Darius Slayton who’s only owned in 1% of Yahoo leagues and is coming off a game in which he caught four balls for 62 yards and a touchdown.
