FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 15
Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
FanDuel Price: $8,200
Salary Change: Down $700
Many DFS players expected a big performance from Mike Evans last week (he was 36.28 percent owned in the Sunday Million), but he disappointed with just 6.2 FanDuel points. We could have seen that performance coming, perhaps, as the New Orleans Saints are actually decent versus wide receivers -- they’ve allowed less FanDuel points to wideouts than the league average.
Things are looking up for Evans in Week 15, however. He’ll face off against the Dallas Cowboys, who have allowed the eight-most FanDuel points to wide receivers this year and the fifth-most over the last four weeks.
During their five-game winning streak, the Buccaneers have been playing a ball-control style on offense, mostly limiting the upside of offensive skill players. But they may not have that opportunity on Sunday, as they are seven-point road underdogs to Dallas. If Tampa Bay trails in the second half of this game like Vegas expects, Evans could be in line for monstrous volume.
Evans has scored at least 24 FanDuel points on four separate occasions this season. His target numbers in those games: 13, 13, 17, and 11. This game script could result in a healthy amount of targets for Evans, making him an elite tournament play.
