Okay, so I’ve been staring at my fantasy football draft board, scratching my head over this one guy: Mike Evans. Dude’s a beast, no doubt, but is he worth a pick this year? I decided to dig in and figure it out.
First thing I did was check out his stats from last season. I mean, the guy’s been hitting over 1,000 receiving yards consistently. In fact, I saw that on the very last play of Week 18 last year, Baker Mayfield chucked him a pass, and he took it nine yards, pushing him over the 1,000-yard mark. He needed 85 yards that day, and he got 89. That’s just clutch. But it got me thinking, is it always like this?
So, I went game by game, looking at his targets, receptions, and touchdowns. Turns out, he had eight games where he caught four or fewer passes. That’s a bit scary, right? If he’s not scoring, those low-reception games could really hurt your fantasy score. I spent a whole afternoon making a spreadsheet, marking down those low games. It was a real eye-opener.
Should I Pick Him?
- Consistency: He is consistently good, over 1,000 yards each season.
- Touchdown Dependent: He has some low catch games, needs touchdowns to make up for it.
- Expert Opinions: I looked at what other people are saying, some say yes, some are not sure.
Then, I spent hours combing through expert advice. I read articles, watched videos, and even scrolled through those endless forum threads. Some people are all in on Evans, saying he’s a guaranteed WR1. Others are pumping the brakes, pointing out those quiet games and wondering if his age is starting to show.
After all this digging, I’m still not 100% sure. He’s a high-risk, high-reward kind of player. I’m leaning towards drafting him, but I’m gonna need a solid backup plan. Maybe I’ll snag a reliable, high-floor receiver in the later rounds, just in case Evans has a few of those dud games. It’s a gamble, but hey, that’s what makes fantasy football exciting, right?
I printed out all my notes and highlighted the key points. It’s a mess, but it’s my mess. Now, I just gotta decide if I’m brave enough to pull the trigger on draft day. Wish me luck!
