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.
