Probably a big game coming for the TEs Brate/Howard and DJAX.

Peterson covered Marvin Jones in Week 1. But no I'm not benching Evans... He's good enough to make it happen, much more athletic than that group.
True, the thought ever so briefly crossed my mind to sit AB vs Jalen Ramsey last week and we saw how that turned out. However, I watched that game and Ramsey was not shadowing.

The rule of thumb is to attack Bethel so I'm sure Djax will eat, along with Humphries. WR1s and TEs don't normally fare well vs ARI.
I'm honestly not afraid to sit studs if I have other logical options. You also have to factor in how they're playing in general. Is Evans producing like a stud? I honestly think the "start your studs" #### is overplayed.
Last year Evans managed a good game vs ARI because he saw 17 targets which he turned into a 6/70/1 line. I think of he wants to sniff those numbers again he'll need similar volume with the way PP is playing right now.

I remember last year when Tampa played Seattle there was all this shadow talk and Evans/sherman hype. I almost benched him. He had 6-80 2 tds in the first quarter. Roasted sherman for at least one of the tds.

I believe PP has allowed 6 catches total in 5 games. He's allowed 7 yards after the catch in total on the year. PP is the best cover corner in the league, I'd comfortably rank Evans outside of my top 12 this week.. if I did rankings.

Both.
Obviously a choke and a punch are always seen as worse but Evans' was actually more dangerous.

At least ill be able to bench him
Let's not forget what idiot caused Evans to attack Lattimore: a melee that began when Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston -- on the bench with a shoulder injury -- poked the helmet of New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. As Lattimore retaliated, Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans flattened him from behind.
The guy is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Wouldn't that indicate the severity of Green's actions were worse, not better? I see now there's a thread for this.

If only he was still suspended. At least then I could anticipate the zero and not play him.

Thought getting Winston back was a good thing.

BREAKING NEWS: HE CAUGHT A PASS!

What a bust this year.
This is the week.
people are benching him, while maybe not a great matchup I could see this game being a shootout type game, especially in the second half. The bucs have to know they have messed up and will correct themselves this week and feed him the ball.
my prediction: 11-173-2 and a nice win for me in my main dynasty league

I can vividly recall discussing this guy in this thread in the middle of last season and saying that it felt like having one of, if not, the biggest bargains of the 2016 FF draft and that the following season, he'd more than likely be a relative bust. Last year, he returned top 6 numbers for a late second early third in most cases. He was never likely to return on a first rounder this year. That said, I never thought he'd actually bust, just maybe go for 1100/6 type of seasonal numbers. Winston has not been good, the run game, OL, defence, they're all trash and all part of the problem.

Hasn't broken a hundred yards all season. That's crazy.

Starting because I feel like I must.
Same here. He was my second round pick. And even though he's turning out to look like he might be just a guy, I still remember how great he looked at times last year and the year before.. And how Winston would just force targets to him. Maybe I'm a fool, but I still think he might have that big game in him somewhere along the line. And I don't want it to be when he's on my bench. So I guess I'm just going to plug him in and go down with the ship.

But it doesn't matter. I need an astronimal amount of things to happen for me to get in. Unlikely. So for spite I'll,sit him this last game.
I only have Evans on one team (my oldest league) and I was bummed I didn't land him more. He's killed my team. Or I should say I did. I played him week after week while rotating through Thomas and Hopkins. Killed me....

Didn't Winston put 2 TDS on Slay/ Det in his rookie year?

He and Cooper ####ed me in week 15 in multiple leagues last year, I think I subconsciously avoided both this year. I remember them both trailing off dramatically.

I am pretty tired of him having owned him since his rookie season in two dynasty leagues.
i hope he has a good last quarter so his value stays high and I can deal him in the off season. I threw out a couple of ideas to some savvy dynasty owners I trust and they still value him very highly.
That said, if he sucks these last several games it may be another waiting period for him to get back on track before dealing him. Ultimately it is only a matter of time for me to sell him, and I hope I can still get great value. That is not the same certainty as last year though when I initially thought about selling.

Tampa's offensive line is in shambles. There honestly isn't time for the QB to get the ball down the field to the WR's. When they do get the ball to him he typically drops it. They basically played a screen game last week because the line is so bad. Any time Winston did a 5 or 7 step drop he was being hit at the bottom of it.

Guys they are playing the Lions. Don't overthink this. Start Evans with confidence. Forget about everything that has led to this point in the season. This is a hit up Lions team led by Jim Caldwell, with almost zero shot at the playoffs. I am a Lions fan and I am telling you that Evans is going to abuse Slay or whoever they match up on him. Doug Martin is a great play too if he starts.
