Evan Engram has made two important fourth-quarter catches in the past two games, both of them leading to touchdowns that either gave or secured a victory. It would seem as if he is establishing himself as a force in the Giants’ offense.
Actually, it’s been just the opposite.
For the past two weeks, the Giants have decreased Engram’s role significantly. On Sunday against the Bucs, he didn’t even start and played just over a dozen snaps. It’s one of the major tweaks the Giants have employed since the bye week, and Engram is trying to come to grips with it.
