Add Evan Engram: Engram put up one of the best fantasy performances by a tight end this season.

He’s been a borderline fantasy starter all season due to volume. His 405 routes run this season are the third-most among tight ends this season.
After this spectacular performance, he also ranks top six in targets, receptions and receiving yards.
He scored one touchdown over the first 12 weeks but has now scored three over the past two weeks.
The Jaguars have only an average schedule for tight ends over the fantasy playoffs.
He will likely go back to catching a few passes a game for an unremarkable number of yards, but his route volume still gives him one of the higher floor than other tight ends.

Monitor Dontrell Hilliard’s health: Hilliard was carted off the field after suffering a neck injury on a punt play. He didn’t return.

Hilliard has served as the Titans’ third-down back, as well as the primary backup on early downs, for most of the season.
Third-string running back Hassan Haskins was limited in practice all week with a ribs injury and was inactive.
Undrafted rookie Julius Chestnut was elevated from the practice squad before this game and took over as the primary backup running back.
They didn’t trust Chestnut on any early-down snaps, but he took every third-down snap over the rest of the game.
These injuries all add up to more snaps and touches for Derrick Henry. Henry particularly took more snaps in two-minute drills than normal.

The Titans without three of their top five receivers: The Titans used several players to make up for several injuries.

Treylon Burks missed this game after suffering a concussion last week, and C.J. Board was also inactive with a ribs injury.
Cody Hollister landed on injured reserve earlier in the week with a neck injury.
This led Tennessee to activate Racey McMath off injured reserve and sign Chris Conley to the active roster off the practice squad.
Tennessee combated injuries last week with more two-tight end sets, but they didn’t have that luxury while playing from behind in the second half.
This led to fewer snaps for Chigoziem Okonkwo, but stay optimistic about the rookie tight end.
He played a clear majority of snaps in multiple tight end sets, as was the case last week. He also played 20 of a possible 46 snaps in 11 personnel. He played only three of 21 snaps from that personnel group last week, and 36 of 333 all season prior to this week.
This makes Okonkwo a more viable option going forward, particularly in games where Tennessee has a lead.
His 2.58 yards per route run this season is still by far the best figure among all tight ends.

Table Notes

• Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.

• Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.

• Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
