Mike Evans

Week 9 at Houston Texans

Mike Evans didn't have a strong game last week, finishing with three receptions for a season-low 39 yards. But he did score a touchdown, which now gives him a score in five of his seven games played this season. A touchdown this week might not happen, though, as Evans faces a Texans defense that's only given up two scores to wide receivers all year. Still, Evans has has been producing at a high level this season (WR12) and should be viewed as someone you want in your lineup every week. He's a low-end WR1 in a fairly tough Week 9 matchup vs. the Texans (12th aFPA).

Week 7 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Mike Evans saw a team-high 10 targets last week and finished 4-49. Evans has now finished with 40 and 49 yards in his last two games after starting the season with three straight games of 60 yards or more. The good news, though, is Evans has seen 10 targets in three of the five games he's played, so he's clearly a priority for Baker Mayfield and this offense. He'll look to get back on track this week, although he'll draw a tough matchup against the Falcons (3rd aFPA). Despite the tough matchup, we still like Evans as a low-end WR1 this week. He's hit a slight speed bump, but he's still been productive overall this season.

Week 4 at New Orleans Saints

The Bucs' offense struggled to do much of anything in Week 3, but somehow Mike Evans escaped with a solid stat line of 5-60-1 on a team-high 10 targets. Evans has now finished with at least five reception, 60 yards and a touchdown in every game this season. He's currently WR5 in half-PPR scoring, which is greatly out-pacing his preseason ADP. We're still not fully trusting he can keep this pace up, but it's a nice start nonetheless. This week, he'll draw the Saints, a team he's had a unique history against. Evans has gotten into three physical altercations with New Orleans CB Marshon Lattimore, which has led to ejections in the past. If Evans can keep his cool and remain in the game, he should be a solid WR2 play in Week 4.
