From the episode

He's 33 years old, been banged up a ton already this season. I don't love ever seeing parentheses Achilles next to a guy's name, especially a guy at his age...Mike Evans would come out really, really strong, be really, really effective, get banged up and maybe not be as productive down the stretch.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Evans' age, Achilles injury, and expected decline make Tate the safer long-term target despite higher ranking.

Buccaneers WR ranked higher than Carnell Tate but source expresses hesitation about trading for him; 33 years old and banged up significantly this season with Achilles injury noted; source had Evans and Tate ranked back-to-back in draft rankings with plan to sell Evans after hot start and buy Tate; Evans came out strong early season but got injured and may not be as productive down stretch; source suggests waiting one more week (Raiders game) before making Tate trade to see if Evans can play, but would pull trigger on Tate trade now if deal must be done immediately.
