Mike Evans is a great football player—you know it, I know it, everyone knows it. In his 38 games during 2.5 years in the league, he’s caught 197 passes for 3,002 yards and 23 touchdowns, and since his rookie year in 2014, Evans is 16th among receivers in receptions, ninth in yards and fourth in touchdowns. The 24-year-old has reached star status and will be one of the best receivers in the league for years to come.
Still, it’s time for us to fully appreciate Evans’s greatness during this 2016 season. Every summer during draft-prep season, we talk about the holy trinity for fantasy production: talent, opportunity and environment.
