The Ole Miss product was a revelation in Jacksonville last season, with 73 receptions for 766 yards and four touchdowns. Engram was a disappointment in his time in New York with the Giants. His biggest problem was drops, which is never good for any receiver.

The Jaguars could have one of the better offenses in the league next season with Trevor Lawrence behind center, Travis Etienne carrying the rock, Christian Kirk and Zay Jones running deep passes, Engram over the middle, and this doesn’t even include Calvin Ridley, who will be returning from suspension. This could be a fun team to watch.

The Jaguars would also seem to be the heavy favorites to win the AFC South next season at +145. The Tennessee Titans are the only team close at +280, but they may have quarterback issues should they decide to move on from Ryan Tannehill. You can find this line and the line for every team to win their division on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
