Mike Evans: Fuck him or I'm Overreacting?

12 team, .5 PPR.

Dude burned me last year, and I swore I wouldn't take him again this year.

Uh, yeah.

Anyway, I want to get out from under this trainwreck before the season starts, if possible.

What's the least you would take for him from a WR perspective, or am I completely overreacting and should keep him?

Full Disclosure: This is a 2 flex league and I'll be starting Barber most weeks as well and would rather not be that tied to the TB offense.

Thoughts?

Weak AF at QB unless Trubisky has a Goff-like 2nd season.

Trubisky

Barkley
Mixon
Barber
Lynch
Morris
Ekeler
Riddick

Evans
Robinson
Sanders
Shepard
Cole
Hurns

Njoku

We start 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 Flex and a TE

That team is terrible. I’d be surprised if you got better than 10th no matter what you do with Evans.

The good news is you should have a top 3 TE...

I ended up with Evans as well, didn't want him. I'm hoping that Fitzpatrick throwing him the ball the first few games will get him to produce, maybe I can flip him after a week or two (assuming someone is dumb enough to not know Winston is coming back).

Looks like I was overreacting.

And for the record, my shitty team will end up being the 2nd highest scorer out of 12 unless Gurley goes off for like 60.

I'd trade him now before Crab Shack gets back and he's useless again. Abuse the myth of Fitzmagic.

I thought about it immediately after he destroyed Lattimore on that 50 yard TD.

That was arguably his toughest matchup of the year and came out just fine, gotta think he'll be OK. And at this point, I'm not sure Crab Legs gets his job back.

With that said, if I don't there's a decent chance I'm regretting it in 2 weeks.

Eh, Fitz would have to put up some Kurt Warner 1999 shit to keep TB from going back to their "franchise" QB.

So when should I get rid of James Conner?

I'm in a dynasty league.....so I could hold onto him and use him next season when Bell is not in Pittsburgh.

Got offered Alex Collins for him last night.

In dynasty, I'd hang on to him.

Personally, I think you'll get to use him most of the season. I think Bell is going to wait as long as possible to report and still get his accrued year or whatever the fuck it is.

Well if I hang onto him....that would give me David Johnson, Derrius Guice and Conner as my 3 RBs next season.
