MTSuper7 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Anyone else wondering what's up with Mike Evans? Have you given up hope? Or is he one of those guys you just can't bench because he can go off any given Sunday? What's your plan with Evans ROS if you are still alive in the playoffs?

Montana is da Man Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I came very close to benching him this week for Davante Adams, but ultimately decided against it. Thankfully Antonio and Big Ben saved me. I do not think Evans will see my starting line up for week 15 and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 He really hurt me this week. Unless I have huge games from Patriots DST and Drake, I'm "one and done." He started off decent, but has been barely a flex play the last month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 One of those players I’ve never had on my team before, so during the draft I thought it was great I finally had him available to me. I can name dozens of players I’ve thought like that about and had the same results unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The only place I own him is a dynasty where we have 4 flex and 2 WR, so there's no way I can rationalize benching him. If I had solid options in normal redraft, I'd be thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I would have to have really good alternative options to consider benching Evans. He is talented. Talented receivers have a tendency to explode at the point where fantasy owners bench them. Winston will undoubtedly be making an effort to make sure Evans ends the season on a high note.

I have some other options, and maybe I'll post a WDIS thread in the advice forum to see what others think. But I generally don't think anyone's advice will help. What I need is a crystal ball. What's tipping me over the edge to start him is the situation - he is at home on Monday Night against Atlanta. And he has a roughly 6-85-1 career average vs. Atlanta (seven total games including a blowup game in a night game at home last year where he had 11-150-2).

The Falcons have given up the 10th most points to opposing wide receivers and big, physical receivers have done the best against them. The top 3 scoring wide receivers against the Falcons have been Michael Thomas 6'3" (27.70 fantasy points), Davante Adams 6'1" (23.90 fantasy points), and Robby Anderson 6'3" (22.50 fantasy points). The Buccaneers will also likely be playing from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Only bench him for guys who will score more than him. But seriously, you're right about his high ceiling. Personally, I'd feel a lot worse missing his ceiling game than I would catching his floor game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His floor shouldnt be 2-4 points for a WR that was going in the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, when I look at my other options (Watkins, Diggs), they have the same exact floor. So I might as well go with the guy who historically has shredded Atlanta and who plays at home on Monday night. Regardless, it's amazing that I had a first round bye with Evans and DeMarco Murray as my first two picks. My team this year is proof positive that in-season roster management > draft research and management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
