Mike Evans has always been a touchdown maven in the NFL because of his leaping ability and 6-foot-5 frame. But the inclusion of Tom Brady has taken Evans’ TD prowess to greater heights as the seventh-year man scored a career-high 13 times during the regular season. That total is now at 15 after three playoff games.
But Evans continued to do plenty away from the red zone, too. He set an NFL record this season by exceeding 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first seven seasons; Randy Moss had previously topped that mark in each of his first six campaigns. He will do battle against a Chiefs defense that allowed only 2,159 receiving yards to the position during the regular season, the second-fewest in the league. The Chiefs gave up only 15 WR touchdowns during that time as well.
Evans has been limited in practice since suffering a knee injury in Week 17, but that hasn’t restricted his on-field involvement. He recorded a 6-119-0 line against Washington during the Wild Card round of the playoffs before scoring against the Saints and the Packers.
