Evans continues to bide his time on the sidelines after straining his hamstring during the team's second preseason outing. He has been rested ever since the injury, and it is unclear whether he will play on Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Spin: Every Evans owner can officially raise their eyebrows now. It’s very uncommon for players to appear in game action if they haven’t practiced all week, meaning Evans has one more chance to hit the practice field on Friday.
Should he take the field, he is worth WR2 consideration against a flawed Titans defense, but owners must be extra careful when setting their lineups this week. Evans is best suited for a flex position so owners can have other positional options to start in case Evans can’t play during his 4:25 p.m. time slot.
