From the episode

I do feel like there's a little bit of recency bias here with him ranked as a wide receiver one. That was Mike Evans' first game with more than eight targets this season. That was his first game with more than 76 receiving yards.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Evans' WR1 ranking driven by recency bias from Seattle game, not season trend.

Evans is ranked as a wide receiver one this week, but there is recency bias from his strong performance against Seattle last week; that was his first game with more than eight targets and more than 76 receiving yards this season, suggesting the elevated ranking may not be sustainable.
