Sure it does. As far as current NFL players, Evans is the absolute best case for WRs who are not high volume separators. Evans has improved significantly as a route runner, but he can't do the things Chris Godwin does. However, Evans is still viewed as the better WR and is currently on pace for a HOF WR career.IZigUZag wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 6:45 amEven though Evans played in 3 less games he only had 6 less targets.. But that's also why I didn't quote his raw numbers, and just spoke about his efficiency.
He was even worse in the YAC department in 2018 where he posted 2 YAC/R.
Evans is just not good at YAC, which is completely fine given his skillset... but comparing him to Sutton doesn't make much sense to me.
There may be differences in Sutton and Evans' games, but if Sutton is ever viewed in the same breath as Evans, that is the absolute best case. Sutton is never going to be a player like Allen, Adams, Thomas, Diggs, prime Antonio Brown, Beckham, etc who separate at high volume.
But again...Jerry Jeudy has a chance to be a player like Keenan Allen or DaVante Adams, where they can run every route, line up anywhere, and get open at will. If that translates for Jeudy, he could be one of the elite route runners and gobble up targets.
Sutton can still be a good fantasy WR, but if you're giving me the choice, I'm taking the 21-year-old advanced route runner who is a better prospect than Sutton.
