Evan Engram of the Jacksonville Jaguars is inactive for today's game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a hamstring injury. Despite participating in three limited practices this week, he is expected to return for Week 6. In his absence, Brenton Strange will start but is considered a desperation play for fantasy owners, with modest averages over the past three games.
