Lee Evans BustWatch
Remember all that buy-low talk about Lee Evans? Well, now he's really low. Like maybe off the waiver wire. Evans was held to a seven-yard catch Sunday, and J.P. Losman may miss a few more weeks. Rookie Trent Edwards is the likely starter.
Reader John Williams asks:With Losman's injury sidelining him for some time, is it time to cut Lee Evans for a D. Bowe or Roddy White off the waiver wire?
I would not cut Evans in any league. Definitely not for those two. Bench Evans of course, but he's still a top-20 receiver waiting to happen for the second half of the season. Think long-term. Heck, I guess I still would buy low in a trade if I got Evans at rock bottom prices. Offer your WR6 or TE2 for him and see if Evans' owners jumps.
Comments
I like Lee Evans. He runs his routes hard; he never gives up on a play; and he has great speed and agility. The problem to me is the QB. Twice in the first two games, Evans was wide open, only to have Losman miss him on a certain TD pass. Granted, Evans must do more to demand the ball, but the coach should always find plays to get the number one receiver into the game. With the hard running of M.Lynch, teams have come into the box to take away the run, yet the Bills head coach seems lost at how to get Evans consistently into the game plan.
