  • : Mike Evans: Questionable to Out (Achilles, Tendinitis) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Elic Ayomanor: 72 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Mike Evans's 54 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Mike Evans for Elic Ayomanor?

Not on these numbers alone. Mike Evans projects 30 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (3.8 a game over 8 games) and Elic Ayomanor 33 (4.1 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Mike Evans is listed out.
