Is Mike Evans a Buy low or sell high?

[dipANDglide]

I'm curious what the community thinks about Evans this offseason. Is he a buy low or sell high for you guys?

[maxhyde]

Buy low I think from what I have seen but that isn't universally true.

[Madadamus]

He's a buy for me. He has slid a few spots since last year, but there is no way his touchdown totals will be as low as they were this past year. He was a touchdown machine his rookie year, I think he will find some middle ground this year. Going into year 3, another year with Winston maturing and growing, I expect big things this year. I have him in the same conversation with Robinson.

Sellers would be foolish to sell him low. I paid quite a bit to get him, because I think he's worth it. This is a guy with crazy size speed combination. He's really still just learning the game as well being that he started playing football late. He's got top 5 upside in my opinion and a very high floor. No reason to sell for pennies on the dollar.

[Mephistopheles]

He's buy low but nobody's selling him low that I've seen.

Buy low...except who's selling low?

[BuckeyeNation]

If I'm looking at what I expect him to do in the future and compare it to what he did in '15, then he's a buy for me. He's definitely not a "buy low" though in most cases. His DLF ADP is 7, and all the Evans owners in leagues that I'm in value him as a 1st round startup player. With dynasty owners being so youth-centric for the most part, there are Evans owners that I've talked to that wouldn't trade him straight up for guys like Julio/Brown because of the age difference. His price is very high and probably doesn't have much room to increase going forward, but he's a young WR that I expect to put up WR1 numbers for a long time.

[DynoScout]

Leaving aside "low" and "high" for a moment. I see Evans as a buy.

[DrNoish]

This is all accurate, he was a great buy low target, only nobody was selling low. I couldn't acquire him without a serious overpay.

[Phaded]

I don't think he is either buy low or sell high. I would say his value is pretty fair.

When the season ended I traded Evans/Abdullah for ARob/ASJ. I feel like that's a pretty balanced trade; wasn't selling high on him and other owner was not buying low.

That said, I absolutely do not understand those that say he struggled in 2015.

[Pac_Eddy]

That said, I absolutely do not understand those that say he struggled in 2015.

I think this is related to his low catch rate (50%) and low TD numbers (3). I think both are will bounce back this season.

Even with that, he played with a rookie QB and had more yards than his rookie year in less playing time.

[Telperion]

He's also still younger than Doctson and many 2015 rookies.

With his age and Winston, considering the way he performed his first 2 seasons, I'd expect 80/1200/6 from him on a regular basis for years to come.

As has been said though, who's selling?

[Bigfun71]

Was offered 1.01 and DT
for Evans and 2107 1st (late, reigning lg champ)
SO , I sold, the buyer did not buy low. He got younger at wr, I got Zeke and was already stacked at wr, now added DT to it.
Or you might say I did sell high. I drafted him, so not much invested. Rarely ever started him last yr, he just sat there on my bench. or When I did put him, I never expected too much and that usually what I got, a pedestrian type production.

I can't remember who originally said it, but I agree with a sentiment I saw a few months ago, which is,

Buyers currently have a buy-low mentality/valuation toward Evans that doesn't meet sellers prices because most Evans owners are still very high on him. Most Evans owners do not want to trade him from what I have seen, so it seems to have lead to an off-season where he is mostly a hold and very few trades go down with him involved.
