Updated for week 6 - week 17!

Trent Edwards is the QB. Can it really hurt? They WILL get Lee Evans targets this week and Edwards being a rookie is likely to lock in on Evans. I really don't think Buff D will stop the Jets so I see this being a high scoring game.

Edwards didn't seem to lock in on him last week when he played...

this is the week....against the jets 22nd pass defense.
if he can't get it going this week....he might never see the starting lineup again.

he has got 4 recp. for 29 yards in 3 games. he is not even startable at this point. I am tried of getting zeros from this guy.

Jets homer here:
We damn-well may have the worst defense in the entire NFL. We can stop the run to the outside well but we get DESTROYED straight up the gut and this opens up a tremendous playaction game for opposing offenses. Playaction bombs is where Lee Evans makes his money.
Also, our pass rush is the most pathetic pass rush in all the NFL. We did not touch Tom Brady or Kyle Boller's jersey let alone get a sack in weeks 1 and 2. Then last week, while we did record our first sack, it was the only time Trent Green was under any type of pressure all day.
Our D is pathetic.
If you can't/don't start Lee Evans this weekend then he just doesn't belong on your roster. Period.

How are you so sure that this isn't Evan's high point? That whole team has looked absolutely horrible, and there still may be people who are willing to take a chance on him. Give Evans a couple more weeks like he just had and you won't be able to get a third string TE for him. Trade him now and you still might be able to squeeze some value out of him.

Last year against the Jets:
Week 3: 8 receptions, 107 yards 0TD
Week 14: 2 receptions, 91 yards, 1TD
Thus far he has had 19 targets....not horrible, but he just hasn't had many catches. I would be more concerned if he wasn't getting the targets.
The Jets D is not very good. Start him!

His avg fantasy points per week is less than 1. If you don't think he will finish better than that then you are
. If you are not a Evans believer (I am) you should trade him after his first big game, not after the 3 worst game strech of his NFL career.Legion of Doom

I wish everyone had this opinion. I'd love to buy low on Evans. If you sell now you will regret it......

I agree. If you don't believe he will come back and have a good year then wait until he has a good game and trade him, not now. I am starting him this week and not looking to trade as I have him in dynasty and am confident when he gets a QB he will be a top stud, but I am NOT starting him with confidence this week--starting him with desperation. Edwards scares me.His avg fantasy points per week is less than 1. If you don't think he will finish better than that then you are.

This thread again, now with "Week 4"?
Sci, I am a LE (disgruntled) owner, but will likely play Coles (@ BUF) over Evans (vs. NYJ) this week. Again. I will continue to do so until Evans has something resembling a decent game. I'm not giving up, but I'm also not rushing out to start him in a division game, coming off a beat down, with a rookie QB in his first 'start'. At least he's @ home this week.
And just b/c a guy thinks he's a 'sell', doesn't mean he's a 'guppy'. Just a different opinion, that may or may not be correct down the road.

Will you still be an "Evans believer" if he has three more weeks like he just had? I'd guess probably not. If that big game doesn't come VERY soon, he won't be tradeable even to Evans believers. That's what I mean about him still having some value. Even if he improves a little (of course he won't keep up his <1 average) it may not be enough to bump up his value. So trading him now might actually be selling him high because some people (Evans believers) are still looking at last year's stats when they evaluate him. Give it a couple more weeks, and last year's stats will be forgotten, and the only way to get rid of him will be to cut him.His avg fantasy points per week is less than 1.

Will I?I regret drafting him. Dude has 29 yards through 3 games, HE SUX20% of his yards last year came in one game!!!!Its about consistancy and he does not have it.I would trade him for a six pack if I could, or maybe just a 40 oz!!!!
Both of you stop. Don't call people guppies like this and don't call people schmucks.JLOL. Calling people guppy and your team in your sig. You are THE typical Shark Pool self-absorbed poster child schmuck.

You knew that when you went into your draft I hope. I wouldn't want him as a WR1 but the fact is he finished ranked #7 last year despite a horrible start (2bad games) and putting up bad games against NE (x2). What has he done this far? Had a horrible start (2 bad games) and he has put up one of his blanks against NE. Look at who they have played. Denver (champ owns)
Pitt D
NE
Are we really surprised that he hasn't torn these teams up? Im not at all. Have I started him all three weeks? NO. Will I start him against NE ever? NO. But I can understand why people would want to trade him out of frustration.

Who are you going to get that would have as much up side as Lee Evans,even with his bad start? IMO people who own Evans simply have to ride it out b/c your going to get next to nothing for him. I would rather have him rot away on my bench than deal him away for scraps and watch him explode in the second half.Trade him now and you still might be able to squeeze some value out of him.NEVER SELL LOW guppie
Now is the time to acquire him for a playoff run. Hopefully some of the panicked owners in this thread are in your league

Of that I have no doubt. But, like you, I have two other capable WR's vying for a starting spot (Berrian and Cotchery). I'll be more than happy if Evans blows up this week, but he'll be doing it from my bench. Once he's proved himself with a rookie QB, then I'll plug him into my team.His avg fantasy points per week is less than 1. If you don't think he will finish better than that then you are

He is a #1 reciever on an NFL team, I do not expect 29 yards in 1 game let alone 3 combined, I drafted him thinkin he was on the rise, hell one deep pass can add up to more then 30 yards, why has that not happened......
LEE EVANS SUX, AND WILL BE CUT FROM MY TEAM IF HE GETS ANYTHING SHORT OF 100 AND A SCORE.......ANYTHING!

This would be a good week to start him if the rest of your roster is weak. However, I am of the camp "don't start him until he does something worth starting him for".
This would also be a good week to trade for him if you really want him, his value can't get much lower than it is right now.

The same is true of Steve Smith. Does he suck? This is not a valid argument in terms of his ability (when you say he "Sux"). It can be an advantage for FFL, but even so he was still very good last year in FFL, even taking that one big game away. Most WRs are inconsistent and have big games followed by a dry spell.

I declined because I was "waiting for that big game." Well it didn't come last Sunday, and if it doesn't come soon, his value will really be zero.Here's my point. Right now, he has value because of last year's performance. If you wait much longer, that value will be gone. So selling him right now is not really selling low. Selling him after another week or two of really bad games would be selling low, because people will have long-forgotten about last year.
There are a lot of people in this thread who are saying "buy" on Evans. What are they willing to offer?
Legion of Doom
Footballguy
Yes you will. You've stuck with him this long why not wait and see what happens when he faces some easier competition,starting this week. I just don't see trading him for nothing.He has too much potential IMO. If you can still get decent value go for it!

Of course he is going to go off this weekend, this is what he does to the owners who draft him, he has 3 suck ### weeks in a row. The people that own him get so pissed they bench him, and he goes off for 150 and a TD, next week you play him and he gets 35 yards.
I am playing Ju Jones over him at the Flex spot with Housh, and Berrian starting at WR

Steve Smith had a bad week... 1 point? WRs are often inconsistent (this is ridiculous). I'll see where the new QB goes and adjust from there. I usually only start WRs after their streak begins which means I miss that first good game but that's fine by me. Starting Roddy White this week.

Please. Comparing a guy who has scored 25, 41, and 2 points (PPR league) and is the 7th ranked WR to a guy who has scored 2, 3, and 1 and is the 95th ranked WR is absolutely ridiculous.Legion of Doom

That's alot better than what I've seen offered.I would have no problem with that trade. That's a good offer and getting something in return. BTW I've seen trade offers of Evans for Owen Daniels,Sammy Morris,JT o'sullivan(guy had kitna and took the deal),ladell bettsI was offered Santanna Moss for him last week

I have Evans. Would not consider trading him now because I will get NO value in return. It is not as if he has disappointed - the guy has not even started the season yet! What does he have, like 3 catches and 30 yards more than I do this year?

3 catches for 30 yards in 3 weeks ? Check
Not the leading WR on his own team ? Check
Starting QB injured ? Check
Defense falling apart ? Check
Worst team in the league ? Check
Buffalo Bill's turned into the Cleveland Brown's mighty fast. Evans has got talent right? But what does it matter if they can't get him the ball. The only thing you can do "with confidence" right now is to sit Lee down on the bench and give him a stern talking to through your monitor. Unless you want to go to a Bill's game and plead to Evans in person to catch more passes to help your fantasy team.
Even if Evans does have a good game this week, this prediction is out of left field. 3 weeks of nothing = bench until further notice, unless you want to play for the #1 pick next year.

Just wonder how many threads were are going to see this year that say
Week 12 start Evans with confidence!
Of course, I own Evans in 3 leagues and he's stuck on my bench. :(

I am deep at WR, and traded Cotchery for Evans. IF Evans starts performing, and the Bills find a way to move the ball, I'll have a potential starter for the second half of the season. IF he doesn't pan out, I can have Evans sit on my bench instead of Cotchery.
