Start Lee Evans with confidence (1 Viewer)

[Soaring Eagle]

I really think Lee Evans breaks out this week and surprises everyone..

Yes Buffalo's offense has been awful and yes NE has a great defense...

However I think Buffalo will be doing everything they can to put the ball in Evans hands this week....

5 catches 119 yards 1 td

I love your confidence, but I'm benching Evans in the league where I have good options. (Edwards)

In two others where I have him, he remains, in one of those only because AJ is out. In the other, it's too large a league with too many starters to consider benching him.

I like this part of his schedule much better and will start him with confidence. However this week he is playing in New England, against probably the best D he will face all year IMO. He didn't do well last year against NE at all. BB see's Evans twice a year and will game plan for Evans. Many People that have Evans seem to have either Curry or Berrian. I have both....I would start either of these guys over Evans this week.

 

[gman8343]

I'm starting him over Jerry Porter, but not with confidence.

 

[crazy gadget]

I started Welker over him last week and will do the same again this week. His schedule gets much better after this week.

 

[Slinger]

Don't get cute. Unless you have Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens on your roster, you have to start Lee Evans, logic be damned. You always start your studs and Lee Evans is a stud.

Agreed on all counts. I am working a trade to get Evans that will hopefully go through today. But I won't be starting him this week (Berrian gets the nod against Dallas for me). But I expect him to start living up to (or at least close to) his draft position starting next week at home against the Jets.

Starting Javon Walker and Roy Williams over him. At flex I'm going with Edge. I really don't want to, though.

 

[Sabertooth]

I like Evans as well. He's a nice option going forward. I drafted him to be my number 2 and he'll stay there. The shark move is to play him.

he's a stud? sure he had 1300 yards last year (with a modest 8 Tds). but over 20% of his yards and TDs came in ONE GAME against Houston.don't get me wrong, i have him in all but one of the leagues i play in. but at either WR2 or WR3.

In my big money league I now have: Andre Johnson, Roy Williams, Anquan Boldin, Braylon Edwards, Ronald Curry and Lee Evans. So yes i an afford to bench someone playing a team that he has a total of 132 total yards (0 tds) against in the last 2 years (4 games).

Evans isn't consistent enough to be considered a Stud. He has plenty of upside, which is why i drafted him but i will be benching him this week. it could hurt me, sure... but i'm not taking the chance on him like i have the last 2 weeks, i don't have andre johnson to bail me out if he puts up a 20 spot.

A WR stud is the best scoring WR last two weeks on your team..Evans is #86 in ratings WR's in PPR leagues!Playing in NE against the #2 rated run DT and #5 rated pass DT..is not his week..BENCH HIM!

This is the key. Would you rather play him and get 2/20, or bench him and have him go 9/200/3? Usually, I'd say I'd rather take the risk and play him, but not against the Patriots. (watch as we get burned)

 

[smapdi]

I wouldn't bench him this week.

If the Bills have any hope of staying in this game, Lee Evans has to be a major factor. Losman "called out" the OC this week and hopefully they can make the right adjustments.

Evans always has been a slow starter but I would not want him on the bench when he finally goes off.

 

[Arnold. S]

well the Pats never shut down LT and they did this past week. They've always shut down Evans, so I'm guessing Evans will go off this week and be the reason the game stays close like a lot of experts been saying. I'm starting Evans by the way...

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Who is best Offense player on Bills, Evans.

Think NE DT doesn't know that? He will be double teamed, easy to cover anyone else!

[benm3218]

well evans IS a gamble. You cant argue against that. I dont think Curry is. He is a sure WR2 orWR3 this week.

As a 0-2 team (due to evans and SJax etc.) I cant gamble this week. I'll take my steady points from Curry. If you are 2-0 and loaded, then sure you can gamble...

Well since your here posting he's on your team i guess. He's on mine too, but also on the pine week3! Play him pal, go for it!Week 1 & 2 total is 4rec. for 22 yards and your going to play him against NE at NE.

 

[Boston]

The reason I'm sitting Evans this week is not so much him but because I see Losman and the Bills O line having a real tough afternoon. Unless Evans gets a long one (which is always a possibility because he's a good WR with big play ability) I don't see Losman being able to make Evans a consistent performer this week. The Pats D looks to be far superior to the Buffalo offense and Evans maybe a victim of that scenario.

The thing about Lee Evans is that he can blow up at any point.... he's just as likely to give you 1 pt or 40 this weekend, matchups be damned... and depending on your other options, might be worth keeping him in there for now

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Nothing against Evans got him in 2 of my leagues great player on a ####ty team. Drafted Evans at 5.05, 5.06 was A.Peterson of the Vikings, bummer huh!

He posted his second and third highest scoring weeks against the Bears and the Ravens

 

[socrates]

I am sitting Lee Evans for Calvin Johnson. Evans may be a stud, but until he gets on track, I will take a wait-and-see approach.

Like I said before man..play him if ya want, not saying not to just seems he going into a bad week3 game.

Starting Javon Walker and Roy Williams over him. At flex I'm going with Edge. I really don't want to, though.

Those are good WR's. I was just talking about people who are starting the Shaun McDonalds of the world over him.

[Sinrman]

I am willing to let Evans throw up a huge game before I start him right now. Their offense is THAT bad. Well, Lynch has looked ok overall, but Losman and Co. look lost and terrible...

 

[southeastjerome]

I think next week is the week you'll see a lot of people starting him with confidence. I am going ahead with Galloway this week.

 

[kensat30]

Don't get cute. Unless you have Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens on your roster, you have to start Lee Evans, logic be damned. You always start your studs and Lee Evans is a stud.

Lee Evans is a stud just as much as Chris Chambers is a stud.The guy has one 1,200 yard year and suddenly he's a must start? Please. The guy had like 300 yards and 3 TDs in one game last year. That means for the most part of the year, the guy was a borderline WR3, and a streaky one at that.

 

[TheLastDispatch]

I have very little confidence this is the week he breaks out. I'm stashing him one more week (behind Owens and Walker).

 

[chedha]

I think next week is the week you'll see a lot of people starting him with confidence. I am going ahead with Galloway this week.

There's no way I can play Evans over Galloway this week..

Mr. Evans take a seat. Kevin Jones?

Welcome to Fantasy Football. You'll enjoy the hobby after some years of valuable experience. Taking out one game of a player's season is silly. That's like saying, "Well Ronald Curry had a very average game if you don't count that one pass he caught before halftime". It happened, it counts.Just FYI, he had 8 games with 70 yards or more and 3 other games where he at least caught a TD pass. 11 productive games out of 17 isn't bad. He started the first 2 games with 25 and 19 yards before racking up 107 versus Buffalo.

Again, welcome to the hobby. You'll enjoy it.

Well if this is your hobby you better learn it, they only play 16 regular games in a season not 17!

 

[Da Guru]

Evans is a classic boom or bust player.

Does nothing for 3 weeks then bam two bombs for TDs.

 

[j ViLLA x PE]

T.O and Lee Evans were my main WRs for my team but lost confidence with evans and gave up clinton portis to land marvin harrison.

Now lee is simply my flex rb/wr but this week i have to bench him in favor of Jacoby Jones. I feel he has a better chance than Evans does. I also got porter, but mccown doesnt seem to target him enough.

 

[JMJ]

With Andre out I am starting Jacoby Jones over him and not thinking twice about it.

I'm 2-0 with Evans giving me nothing and I know that luck isn't guaranteed to continue. He has to earn his way back into my lineup now.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

This is a division game and the Pats will concentrate on stripping the Bills of any effective running game. At week 3, I fully expect Buffalo's offense to have gelled to the point where Evans is good for 5/80 minimum and large upside since he will likely see 9-14 targets.

 

[twitch]

New England has given up 4 passing TDs this year, 3 of which were to studs.....Gates and Laveraneus Coles. Coles scored 2 TDs in a blowout loss. Personally, I think Coles is a more complete receiver, but Evans is a stud. And I dont care how good New England's D is. If youve got Evans, you start him. jmho.

 

[SCT]

I am sitting Lee Evans for Calvin Johnson. Evans may be a stud, but until he gets on track, I will take a wait-and-see approach.

Exactly. I'm starting CJ2 and Edwards over him this week.

forgive me for saying it,but I've never subscribed to that point of view. I think you're best served by playing your matchups, not your studs.until further notice, Lee Evans sucks vs. good defenses, especially those 'good' Defenses he sees twice a year, like NE..

Evans is a waste of time,imo,until he begins to prove he's worth holding on to..

but,I'm not starting him until he shows me SOMETHING.

He is very close to being a MAJOR bust this season, and guys like that I don't start until they're producing...

 

[Ghost Rider]

I would bench Evans if my WR corps was strong, but aside from Cotchery, my other WRs have been poor so far, so Evans is merely the best of a weak bunch right now.

I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts. I can't stand it when people pull the "if not for that play" bit ( though I've been known to use it when I want a trade to go my way ). That said, the parent does have a point. Evans is somewhat of a feast or famine wideout. Evans owners ( myself included ) were kicking ourselves up until week 10 last year, as he'd be getting 100/1 one week, and come back with 20/0 the next. Not sure what happened in week 11, but the Bills need to find that magic again before I'm putting evans in my lineup**. HOWEVER, I'm fully aware of the fact that every time I sit him, I'm possibly leaving 20+ points on the bench. I did this last year ( and yes, he was on reserve for the 265/2 game ), and it was nothing but frustration. Can't believe i'm doing it again. , but thats the way its going to be until the Bills can find some other reason for defenses to be afraid.

**For the record, sitting him for Calvin/Braylon in one league, and Galloway/Curry in another.

May be using the term stud a bit loosely here. Studs are "always starts", because they are consistent with only small letdowns. Evans on the other hand has more downs than ups. The appeal is that his ups are higher than just about any other WR in the league. You don't have to agree, but playing Welker (not a stud, yet) over Evans (stud?) is the better play.
