What's the going rate for Lee Evans? (1 Viewer)

What is Lee Evans fetching nowadays on the trade market?

I'm curious since one money league that I participate in has seen the (frustrated) GM trade him for Baltimore's... Mark Clayton.

Funny, I can't even see why I would call it lopsided and veto the trade.

I think you could get a good 2nd string TE for Evans...maybe.
 
I'm dropping him for D. Bowe. I was all for giving him a chance to get it together but 2 of my 3 WR's have their bye weeks this week so I need somebody this week.

There are approximatley 86 WR's outscoring Evans. Pick one off the wire and move on.
 
I just acquired him as a throw in...until Losman comes back I don't see him doing anything. Even then I'm not so sure he'll be productive. Somebody needs to punch Jauron in the face.

 
I would trade Evans for a chicken sandwich, if I could. As it is, the league I am in doesn't allow trades, so as soon as a decent WR emerges in the free agent market, I am dropping Evans for him.

Hopefully he gets back to 2 receptions per game under Losman.
 
He is worth a waiver wire pick in essence, and some people still might not pick him up.

The worst part is, we all know he is a talented receiver. :thumbup: Jauron and this horrible offense

 
:lmao:

I'm completely aware that he hasn't done anything this year, but I'd gladly pick him up for my worst player on my teams.

I have him in both my dynasty leagues, so I may be biased, but I think he bounces back late this year, I'll put out offers in my redrafts at these rates.

 
IMO Evans is the ultimate buy low. Just look at the defenses he played:

DEN- #1 vs opposing WRs

PIT- #7

NE- #11

NYJ- #17

DAL- #19

2 things stand out. His first 3 games were vs ridiculous pass defenses. His last 2 games were vs below average pass defenses but they had a rookie throwing him the ball. He had a decent game vs the Jets with 72 yards. Once Losman comes back are you telling me Evans will not be a solid WR vs average defenses? You can get him for a song and a prayer now and stash him as a WR4 or 5. I will be offering up Heath Miller for him to a TE desperate team.

You may be right, but at this stage the guy is not worth a roster spot (depending on your bench size). Anyone that averages less than 2 points (non-PPR) a game over a 5 game stretch is not worth sitting on.Most average WR's have scored more points in one CATCH than Evans has scored this year.
 
i just flat out dropped him and picked up Kenny Watson for this week. no one wanted to trade him and i needed the roster room to navigate the bye weeks. even if he puts up some points he'll be streaky.

 
I traded Isaac Bruce for him. He is too talented to not have some ESPN highlights this year. Of course when he goes off, he will probably be sitting on my bench that week.

 
I dropped him. At some point he should have a decent week or two, but so do WR 3's and 4's. I'd rather have consist good numbers than a week or two of a blowup game.

 
Just picked him up off after he was released in waivers for Dennis Northcutt. He'll sit on the end of my bench until he proves he can do something. As someone noted, the problem with Evans is that he is liable to go off for 30 points sometime in the next couple of weeks, but he'll be on 99.9% of fantasy benches at the time.

 
Evans is on pace for 38 rec, 361 yds, 0 tds. Do you honestly believe he will put up those #s by year end? I dont. Even if he puts up 800 yds and 5 tds by year end (which would be a down year for any WR), that means he is due for 687 yds and 5 tds from here on out. That is an average of about 9 pts a game. Which would make him WR#22. So his downside is a WR3 from here on out.

That is the problem right there.On a typical waiver wire you have guys like Evans everywhere. Michael Jenkins for instance...one game with a couple of TD's does not make him start worthy and in most cases (in 3 of my leagues anyway) even worth a bench spot. Evans is clearly in the same league with Jenkins, given this years stats.

Do I honestly think he will keep up at that pace to only get 28/361/0? No.Do I honestly think he will go for 800/5 by years end? No.His downside is far lower than WR3, he has proven that. The problem is (or at least I believe this is your dilemma) that he has also proven that he can be a WR1.But so can any WR in the league with some speed.
 
as a Evans owner in dynasty, I am holding for next year. I know none of my league mates will give anything for him

 
Other than Moss there is no receiver out there really putting up consistant numbers. I have Reggie Wayne for example. He got me 19 points the first week and then a total of 21 since then (avg around 5/week without that big game). Roddy White is no different. 1 big game pulls his YTD numbers up. We would not have this discussion on Evans if he had had at least 1 big game. Same as Reggie Brown. The problem we all have is that we KNOW that at some point they are going to go off on someone. If only we could set our lineups on Tuesdays after all of the games are played!

I see 800/5 as his upside. The Bills might not score 5 offensive TD's the rest of the year. He'll finish the season with around 600 yards and 3 TD's, and the only reason he'll get 600 yards is because he's too fast to not have at least one long TD reception.

exactly. he'll have an awesome long TD while on the bench, and then lay an egg when everyone starts him the next week. after watching BUF the other night, I realized that Evans wasn't a healthy fit for my FF team. I'd rather free up one rotating roster space for the likes of Kenny Watson against KC this week (if he goes, watch out!) or covering byes/injuries especially as i'm in an IDP league.
 
I think that Lee Evan's numbers are going to go up a great deal with JP Losman returns. Trent Edwards simply doesn't go downfield with the ball.

Why do you think Losman is returning any time soon? This team is going nowhere this year, and the Losman was here before Jauron became the coach. With the bye week/trade deadline approaching, they may want to start fresh with Edwards.

Cuz Losman looked good the 2nd half last year and struggled this year vs 3 of the top pass defenses in the NFL.
 
I dropped him in both of the leagues I have him in, with heavy byes and some injuries, I needed to field non-bye players!

I picked up Galloway (yes, he really was out there) in one league and Jason Wright in the next.

 
Week two, I offered S. Holmes for him. WOW I am glad the owner declined!!!!!!!!

I actually wouldn't offer anything for him now, not even Cedric Sucks. But I am waiting for him to be dropped to the wire...

I was offered Holmes for Evans after Week 3, but didn't pull the trigger until after the Pit/AZ game in Week 4, but the trade didn't go through until games were in play Week 5 so I didn't get the frustration of him in my lineup with a big fat ZERO.I'm happy moving forward.
 
I tried trading G. Jennings for him last week but the other guy declined. Now I'm glad he did because the Bills offense looks putrid. Evans has talent, he's just in a bad situation right now.

Non PPR league, I need to pick up either Mark Clayton, Northcutt or Hilliard for this week. Can't decide.

I like Hilliard.
Click to expand...
Tough to decide Hilliard had 9 targets last week but plays a decent tennessee defense this week. Galloway did not practice wednesday. Team decision, whatever that means ?Northcutt had 7 targets last week but gets a soft Miami defense this weekClayton only had 4 targets last week but gets the soft Rams defense this week. Plus, Mason did not practice Yesterday due to illness ? Interesting, i just noticed Holt & Bruce did not practice yesterday. Bennett maybe is a decent play?
