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

Start Jalen Nailor: 65 percent of the snaps and 13 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 Jalen Nailor?

Not on these numbers alone. Mike Evans projects 27 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (3.4 a game over 8 games) and Jalen Nailor 27 (3.9 a game over 7 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Mike Evans is listed questionable.
