The read
  1. Atlanta rank 29th against intermediate throws, which make up 41% of Evans's targets.
  2. Work the middle: 27% of his targets go that way and Atlanta rank 23rd defending throws there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 1st percentile for separation and 78th for hands, and AJ Terrell and C.J. Henderson both allow fewer yards per target than the average corner (7.4).
  4. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

"Market over" is the bookmaker's price with the margin taken out. Green bars are games that cleared the line. Our own prop model is switched off until it passes a public audit on 2026 data, so we show the market and the history, not a tip.
