All off season long the 49ers have been pushing to find someone to back up their workhorse TE George Kittle. Many reports had them pushing for now Cleveland Brown, Austin Hooper, so San Francisco is obviously looking to add some serious backup talent for Kittle. Not someone who will sit and watch Kittle carry 10 defenders, but instead someone who can take the workload off him. If Evan Engram becomes their next target, Kittle get a new dynamic duo creating for a deadly 1-2 punch.

Per twitter user, @VincentFrankNFL , the San Francisco 49ers have shown real interest in the young promising TE. Engram was a first round pick back in 2017, and if it weren’t for injuries this wouldn’t be a possibility. But the fact of the matter is Engram has been hurt for as long as he’s been in the league the Giants may have had enough. So, for the right package it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Giants part ways.

Fantasy Value – As of Now Not Affected

As for Engrams fantasy value, a new beginning wouldn’t be the worst thing for the young TE. Last season when healthy Engram was amongst the top TEs in PPR formats. Don’t forget that he was a first round tight end, and in today’s passing heavy league that says something. On the receiving end of the football there aren’t many TEs that can do it like Engram. In terms of fantasy if he can stay healthy he is almost a sure fire TE1 no matter the format.

The talent is there, there is no question about that. The question remains can he stay healthy. If all the talks are true then San Francisco is a prime landing spot for him. Giving Engram the chance to be the second best TE on the field at times is a crazy mismatch no matter the defense. But as it stands nothing has been set in stone and it is all speculation, so as far as preparing for fantasy Engram will still be receiving the pigskin from Danny Dimes.
