Week 8 vs. Atlanta
There's been a Mike Evans debate on Twitter now Vincent Jackson is expected to miss some time. Does he end up getting a lot of yards due to Jackson's absence or will he be doubled, leaving other players to make plays? If last week is any indication, it appears to be the former. Evans finished with 164 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions and 12 targets.
This week he'll go against a Falcons defense that has allowed the 10th-most receiving yards to opposing offenses this season. However, the Falcons have given up just three touchdowns to wideouts, which is not an encouraging number. Still, assuming Jackson is out, Evans should see plenty of targets and he's talented enough to make something of those looks. He'll be a WR1 this week.
