Should You Start or Sit Mike Evans in Week 16?
Evans absorbed 42.3% of the targets last week and now needs 83.7 receiving yards per game to close the season to again get to 1,000. The narrative of him chasing that number is fun to track, but that’s secondary right now with the Bucs unbeaten since their Week 11 bye.
Evans has cleared a 28% on-field target share in four of his past five games, a level of involvement that ranks among the very best in the sport. With Baker Mayfield playing as well as he ever has, you should be loving the ability to walk into your Week 16 matchup with Evans facing a defense that allows a touchdown on 26.7% of drives (fourth-highest).
