Eric Moody looks at how all the rookies performed during Week 7 of the NFL season.

Enrgam returned to the field after a four-game absence last week and amassed 10 catches for 102 yards. He didn't post a gaudy receiving line this time around but was just as involved. Because Trevor Lawrence only attempted 20 passes, Engram's five looks were good for a 25 percent target share. He tied Brian Thomas Jr. for a team-high in targets. Engram is one of Lawrence's favorite targets and that will result in better fantasy outings when the Jags are forced the throw more. That should happen versus the Packers next week. He will sit comfortably in the TE1 ranks for Week 8.

The Jags fell behind by 10 points early in this game and it looked like owner Shad Khan would be firing Doug Pederson before the third quarter. Lawrence and the offense regrouped with consecutive touchdown drives and a punt return touchdown to end the first half. The second touchdown drive featured Lawrence's highlight of the day, a 58-yard rainbow to rookie Brian Thomas Jr. Jacksonville scored a field goal on their opening drive of the second half and subsequently took the air out of the football. Lawrence only attempted 10 passes over the final two quarters and half of them came on the first drive. It wasn't a flash performance from Lawrence, but he got the job done with efficiency and let his running backs do the rest of the work. He will remain in the QB2 ranks for his Week 8 matchup with the Packers.
