Lee Evans: Man Crush Thread! (1 Viewer)

[buddyboy]

With Trent Edwards at QB? I'll pass . . .

Why?

Besides last week did you ever see Edwards play in a NFL game?

How many true rookies on offensively challenged teams have lit it up in the past? I'm not saying it hasn't ever happened, but it doesn't happen often.

Does a rookie QB have to "light it up" for his #1 WR to produce?

and no is the answer

I'm not saying not to start Evans, but I'm not seeing 9/205/2 this week.That's a pretrty bold statement David, you expect less than 200+ yards and 2 TDs?

If you have Evans, unless you have a very strong WR2, I think this is a week to start him. The Jets pass D is not good. The Bills D is not good so the Bills should finally pass the ball more this week. The O has been very vanilla so far, so I don'tthink it will have to be dumbed down. I'll guess Evans catchs 5 balls for 80 yds and a TD. He's juyst missed on some big plays, he's due to connect on at least one of them.

 

[strong]

I have Evans and trying to get rid of him (hard to do nobody wants him), yes he's a great player but on a ####ty team with a very hard sch.Now with a rookiee QB and teams had triple team him (see his stats proof) because he is no doubt the go to guy, time to unload him (if I can).

Evans is a gamble but I think there's reason to believe he'll score a lot of points in the second half of this season. And if your goal is a championship, Evans is exactly the type of player that COULD make a good team very difficult to beat come December... And the cost it'll take to get him is unlikely to break your team... Just sit him and wait to see if he heats up... Medium risk with a potentially very high reward.

 

[davearm]

Lots of emphasis on the rookie QB angle in here.

So just how long is Losman expected to be out?

 

[Jimboozie]

9/205/2 is his floor!!!

What is his ceiling?

 

[AnonymousBob]

I've been offered Branch/Evans/Braylon for Housh. If Evans does turn it around I have a great steal. If he continues to suck my team is in much worse condition. The mere fact I'm not jumping to make the deal shows how much his value has fallen.

Just traded my last week's FA-Welker for him. Why do I feel like I just got short changed?

Not to hi-jack this thread, but depending on the starting lineup requirements and league rules I would make that trade based on Edwards/Branch alone.I.E. In a start-3 WR league I traded Housh for Braylon and Holmes because Housh was my #2 and my #3 was absolute crap. Back to the discussion at hand. What do people think you can get Evans for right now? I tried giving Berrian for him and was rejected.

 

[hellz_fireflies]

I still have Evans and have to play him this week (not crazy about it tho). Wondering why since I do study other leagues transactions, alot picked up the Jets DT off the WW?

Again, it all depends on what I think Evans will do the rest of this season. My lineup is fine without this trade-if Evans turns it around my team would be nearly unbeatable...if he continues to flop I'll have done nothing but weaken my lineup.Last season people would be screaming for me to do this trade...this season? Eh...

Man this is going to be a good thread to revisit in 2-3 weeks. I'll slow cook some crow for some of you all... we'll decide who eats it later.

...what? For his 1st good game? O.K. and I'll poll Evans owners as to who had him on their bench. Then take the slow-cooked crow and put it in a Zip-Lok bag and leave it in the sun for 3 days for you fantasy team to dine on while you chase points and start Evans for the next 4 weeks never reaching double-digits. Finally giving up on him and swearing him to your bench for the rest of the season, he'll put up great #s and you'll cackle and drool with that crazy look in your eye and a twitch developing in your neck because you refuse to put him in. Then, in the offseason, you do like me and package him with a mid-first round pick for the 1st overall. The doctors tell me I'm all better now.

When did Evans go four weeks without reaching double-digits? Two seasons ago? Last season, the longest stretch Evans went without reaching double-digits was 2 weeks.

It fell so far that somebody dropped him in one of my leagues. I have the #1 waiver priority and I'm still not sure I want to waste it on Evans. But if I don't use it, I'm sure someone else will claim him so I'll probably take the chance and give him food and water on my bench and pray I don't need the #1 priority for any reason soon. Evans was somebody I high hopes for this year but things are ugly right now.

As a Evans owner I can't affore another lost at 2-1 now. Don't think this is his week .

 

[AnonymousBob]

The offense looks TERRIBLE, Lynch looks fairly good and they've got a rookie qb playing for the forseeable future. Plus their head coach isn't exactly known for his ariel attacks. Why should we be looking to buy low?

Somewhere between what he did (not) do last year and what I expect from him this year. Any attempt at humor is pointless in the Shark Pool unless you have statistical facts to support your jokes. I apologize endlessly and from the bottom of my heart (is it O.K. if I do it this way?).

There is no need to try to be a big shot here (we have enough of those types) point is the topic about Evans, all have different views on him plus most here are owners of him like me. Seems some are replying to other posts here and forgetting what the topic was.

 

[GDogg]

Football Outsiders says to start him even with Edwards at QB. I'm starting to lean Evans over Javon Walker.

I am thrilled to death to own Mr. Evans. He is going to blow up this week!!!9 catches205 yards2 tds

The 20k crowd sure contributes well to this forum. Evans has as much of a chance of getting -205 yards this week than the +205 you predict. Which is exactly 0% chance, but whatever. You kids enjoy your time trolling around here. Please clean up when you're done.

Well done Tom.I traded Evans, AND TWO 1st round picks for the 1st this year (ADP) and couldn't be happier about it.

Good point - don't pass...run the ball.

No, it's okay. I bought low and now have a top 10 WR...I bought low on Evans and still have Randy Moss. See it still works, as long as you already have a top 10 WR.

 

[smapdi]

Evans is too good to not put up WR20 numbers

 

[DoubleG]

Evans is too good to not put up WR20 numbers

Agreed. But he can't throw himself the ball. DJax was a top 20 WR with Hass throwing him the ball. Currently he's checking in at about WR60. Meanwhile, Shaun freakin McDonald is a top 20 WR becuase he's in Mike Martz' offense. Patrick Crayton isn't doing too bad either.

whoa, cool it with the common sense. some people around here don't like that kinda thing.

 

[spitkickers]

Not to piss on anyone's parade (as if it matters much to owners who won't move him), but I drafted him in leagues where I could and started him weeks when I could. I wanted to believe...badly.

With byes coming up for other recievers I looked at Evan's numbers. They were somethig like

2,3,8,3...whatever, something like that. In a PPR league, he had one week with 13, and I remember that week - during that week, he was not targeted nearly as much as other receivers.

If those are numbers you are willing to put up with even with a bench spot hoping on potential upside later in the year, while receivers like Roscoe Parrish get all the looks, good for you. I dumped the guy. I didn't even bother looking for a trade. Let someone else bother with the headache and "start him with confidence" some week or other.

Meanwhile I'll take a huge gamble on Sidney Rice or Demetrius Wlliams etc, - guys who will put up similar - if not better numbers each week - with better upside and much more potential for explosiveness. (my opinion on that - the Bills have little upside for explosiveness whatsoever this year IMHO)

I was an Evans believer. For 5 1/2 weeks. That noise is over.

You ordinarily don't want to sell "low", but Evans isn't showing any signs of life and I doubt he will at this point. If he was going to come around, then he would have done that on MNF. Other than the playoffs and the Superbowl, MNF is pro football's biggest stage and if he can't get up for that and perform, then I don't see him doing it going forward. The Bills just don't have enough threats at other positions and evidently Evans isn't the kind of guy that can overcome double coverage. If you can improve your team at other positions via waiver or trade, then don't let the guy burn a roster spot all year that could otherwise give you some production. The Shark move is to know when to move on.

I dropped him this week for Bobby Engram. I have Branch who is injured, and Evans was just wasting space on my bench, so I added Engram.

I agree that Evans' value is low right now and he won't be seeing my starting lineup unless I have no other choice, but I don't really understand the rationale above.How would you like him to show "signs of life?" If he gets open, and nobody throws him the ball, did he not show any signs of life? If he runs the proper route, is open, and is on Edwards' left side (Edwards seemed to lock onto the right side of the field), and he doesn't see the ball, then is Evans not getting up for MNF and performing?I wasn't at the game, so it's tough to tell if he was getting open from watching on TV, but I did pay close attention to where he was lining up. Edwards rarely looked to Evans side of the field. I may be a little off, but it seemed as though Edwards was throwing to his right side most of the time (unless he was throwing hitches to Parrish).Perhaps I'm a WR apologist, but I don't necessarily fault receivers when they don't produce if they aren't getting the targets, and it's unclear whether it's because they aren't getting open or because the QB simply is locking onto one side of the field. If Evans were dropping every pass that came his way, then I'd have a problem with the guy.And, with him lobbying for Losman to come back, I can afford to see what happens with Losman at QB, and the Bills not playing against the Broncos, Steelers and Patriots.

 

[heidbrink]

I dropped him 2 weeks ago to pick Mason of the ww. Evans has been rotting on the wire since then. Nobody is willing to drop even their "least" player to own him. Therefore, in my 12 team league at least, his "value" at this point is perceived to be nil.
