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.

He’s consistently a top 10ish receiver year in and year out. But he’s rarely been a top 4 receiver in a given year. I can’t think of a year where he really had a case as being the best WR.

When I think HOF talent at WR the last 10 years, i think AB, Julio, DHop, Adams, and Tyreek. Guys who are making the case as the best WR in the league for a solid stretch of their careers. MT was on his way before his injuries. Jefferson is on track.

I personally don’t think a guy who was never really a bonafide top 5 receiver for more than a season or two belongs in the HOF.
