Where should you take Mike Evans in your fantasy football draft?
Evans is not as valuable in PPR leagues because he is not a volume receiver. While several wideouts now regularly catch more than 100 passes per season, Evans has not reached 90 catches in a year since 2016.
He must also share work with Godwin, WR Antonio Brown and TE Rob Gronkowski, so he won’t have huge yardage production.
That said, Evans is a touchdown machine. He had 13 last season and has had 12 or more three times in his career. His size makes him a big-time red-zone threat.
He is best used as a high-end WR2. Start targeting him in the third or fourth rounds.
