Judon is the Ravens’ top edge rusher and will primarily play on the strong side. The Rams gave Evans a lot of help last week against Khalil Mack with Tyler Higbee and Johnny Mundt chipping him at the line, but that may not be as necessary Monday night.

Expect Evans to get left on an island more frequently against Judon, which will allow the tight ends to be more involved as receivers. Judon is hardly a prolific edge rusher, but Evans hasn’t exactly shown he’s capable of winning reps one-on-one.

The Rams’ run-heavy approach worked against the Bears because they committed to using two tight ends, but if they want to get back to their more explosive version of the offense, Evans will need to step up.
