Engram brought in all four of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons. Engram played on two drives, both of which came with Trevor Lawrence. With Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined, Engram was Lawrence's favorite target and caught touchdown receptions of five and six yards. He has failed to top four trips to the end zone in the regular season since his rookie campaign in 2017, but this usage could suggest he'll be a favorite target in the red zone in 2024.

Engram brought in all four of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons. Engram played on two drives, both of which came with Trevor Lawrence. With Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined, Engram was Lawrence's favorite target and caught touchdown receptions of five and six yards. He has failed to top four trips to the end zone in the regular season since his rookie campaign in 2017, but this usage could suggest he'll be a favorite target in the red zone in 2024.
Engram was a standout during Jacksonville's final joint practice with the Buccaneers on Thursday, Zach Goodall of USA Today reports. Engram connected with quarterback Trevor Lawrence on a deep ball during the final day of joint practices with Tampa Bay, per Goodall. The veteran tight end is coming off a career-best 2023 campaign in which he tallied a 114-963-4 receiving line across 17 regular-season contests, and he remains slated for an integral role in Jacksonville's receiving game. Former top wideout Calvin Ridley departed for Tennessee in free agency, though the Jaguars added veteran Gabe Davis and rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas to the wide receiver corps. Trevor Lawrence isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, meaning Engram will also likely sit out. That will make his final chance to log exhibition action Aug. 23 versus the Falcons.
Engram actually led the Jaguars in targets but posted another modest stat line. He leads the team with 64 catches and is just two targets shy of Christian Kirk's team lead with 82, but Engram has a pedestrian 524 receiving yards and has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 13 home game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for just 185 yards in the blowout loss, with Christian Kirk being the lone notable producer with six catches for 104 yards. Engram finished second on the team in targets but was unable to do much with those looks, setting a season low in yardage and tying a season low in receptions. The Week 11 matchup with Tennessee should present a more favorable outlook for Jacksonville's offense.
Engram has seen plenty of volume throughout the season, but the tight end has yet to find the end zone while doing most of his damage near the line of scrimmage. He led the Jaguars in receiving yards in this game and set a season high in that category, but Engram also lost a fumble in the red zone. Heading into Jacksonville's Week 9 bye, the tight end has 51 catches for 434 yards on 61 targets.
