After catching his 90th Career touchdown against the Colts on Sunday, and Davante Adams having a touchdownless game against the Chiefs, Evans enters week 13 just 1 Touchdown behind Adams for their careers. With the Raiders being on a bye week, this means Evans will need to catch 1 touchdown to equal Adams or 2 to pass Adams for sole lead. Evans opponent this week is the Worst team in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers who on their last meeting got destroyed by Evans as he had 10 catches for 200 yards and 3 TDs. If he is able to replicate this performance than he will become the active leader in Touchdown Receptions.

As an aside, if Mike Evans accumulates at least 150 more receiving yards for the season then he will tie Randy Moss for the second most 1000 yard receiving seasons in a career (10), a mere 4 behind Jerry Rice.

i didn't know that Evans has only 1 all pro-2 season, but many 1000-1100 yards pro bowl seasons. That will be hard for HOF, there are many WRs in line...

It seems that recent WR careers are shorter, like A.J. Green, A. Brown... it's been several years since any WR has reached 14 000 career yards. For Evans, his case might depend on future production by him and other younger WRs.

Julio Jones and Tyreek Hill should be ahead of Evans. Probably Hopkins, as well.
