From the episode
Mike Evans this year, he's averaging a career high 3.3 yards per route run, career high 34% target rate... he's going to be a top 10 wide receiver. No doubt in my mind because the Commanders defense is Mike Sanders still might be the worst cornerback in the NFL... this is slated as the best matchup you could ask for a wide receiver... I'm salivating to play Mike Evans this week.
STACKED’s take
Evans' elite efficiency and Commanders' weak downfield defense set up top-10 WR performance.
Evans is averaging a career-high 3.3 yards per route run and 34% target rate this season. Despite battling a rib injury that may not last, the source considers him a prime sell-high candidate ahead of the Commanders matchup. However, if he plays the full game, he projects as a top-10 wide receiver because the Commanders defense allows the most touchdowns on downfield throws (10) and has the second-highest completion percentage over expectation (+12%). Evans has a career-high 71% catch rate and 64.7% of his targets travel 10+ air yards (above career average). The Commanders' cornerback Mike Sanders is described as potentially the worst in the NFL, and Evans will likely be matched up with him frequently. Evans demonstrated his upside last week with 7 catches for 113 yards against the Seahawks in a bad matchup, leading the source to state: 'I'm salivating to play Mike Evans this week' and wanting 'a King's ransom' in trade talks because of the expected monster performance.
