90: elite creator

One number for how well Evans has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified wide receiver; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 84 (#31 of 121).

The read
  1. Arizona rank 27th against deep balls, and 18% of Evans's targets travel 20+ yards (the average WR is at 17%).
  2. Work the middle: 24% of his targets go that way and Arizona rank 28th defending throws there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 8th percentile for separation and 71st for hands, and Max Melton allows 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.
