Furthermore, they have given up at least one receiving touchdown to wide receivers in five consecutive contests.

Should I Start Mike Evans For Fantasy Football?

Evans is the WR17 for the year, averaging 13.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran wide receiver had low expectations this season after losing Tom Brady to retirement in the offseason.

This week, he faces a challenging matchup against the Falcons. Atlanta has held wide receivers to only 22.4 fantasy points per game, the fifth-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, Evans will spend most of the game matchup with star cornerback A.J. Terrell.
