Breakdown Chris Evans

    Overview

  • Just about every team utilizies the dreaded 'running backs by comittee' policy. Two solid #1 starters are hard to find.
  • Experts don't even rank him among RB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 66th with 18.20 total points (3.03 avg).
  • Currently 135.9 points behind the leader: Derrick Henry
  • Average points in the past two weeks have increased by 4.1 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Receiving Stats

  • Top 50 in receptions and is currently ranked 47th among RB.
  • Top 75 in targets, though that isn't saying much, and is currently ranked 53rd among RB.
  • Top 15 in Rec TDs with 1 and is currently ranked 12th among RB.

    • Rushing Stats

  • Top 100 in rush yards with 18 (3.00 per game), though that isn't saying much, and is currently ranked 89th among RB.
  • He is top 100 in rush tds with 0 (0.00 per game), though that isn't saying much, and is currently ranked 80th among RB.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 6 more games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: Rush Yards: +18, Rush AVG: +4.5 Rush TDs: EVEN, Receptions: +8, Rec Yards: +104 Rec TDs: +1,
  • He is not getting enough touches to make a significant impact on the ground
  • You do realize that this guy has no rushing touchdowns right?

    • Season Outlook

  • RUSH ATT: 27, RUSH YDS: 121, RUSH TDS: 1, REC: 13, REC YDS: 106, REC TDS: 0
