After a Week 1 dud, Mike Evans delivered for fantasy managers against the weak pass defense of the Atlanta Falcons, putting up five catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns. Once again, the extremely touchdown-dependent Evans is in for all he can handle against Jalen Ramsey on Sunday. Antonio Brown is likely out for this game, which many would see as a good thing for the outlook of Evans. However, this may mean that he sees even more of Ramsey, which is not exactly an ideal situation for a receiver.
In Week 1, Ramsey held Allen Robinson II to just six catches for 35 yards on 11 targets, signifying that even a lot of volume won’t help a receiver have a good game when being shadowed by the No. 1 cornerback in the NFL. Evans has a track record of being shut down by other teams' top corners, as last season he was held to less than 70 receiving yards on 11 separate occasions. Although he could certainly find the end zone in this game, it may be in your best interest to leave the seven-time 1,000-yard receiver on your bench in Week 3 if you have the roster flexibility.
Jalen Ramsey vs. Mike Evans is a marquee matchup to watch on Sunday whenever the two line up across from each other. https://t.co/rFNFokHJ7k
