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.

From my buried response below:

He is currently #2 in receiving TDs and 11th in years. He’s been top 5 in receiving TDs four other years as well: 2021 (2nd), 2020 (4th), 2016 (tied for 4th), and 2014 (tied for 4th). He had the GOAT (thank the heavens!), but outside of that he’s done it year in and year out with Mayfield, Winston, Fitzpatrick, McCown, and Glennon. And it’s not like he’s been the lone star lined up against slouches, he’s had to compete for targets with Gronk, Vincent Jackson, AB, and Chris Godwin.

It’s true he’s never been seen as the #1 guy in the league at any point, but he’s consistently been a top 3-10 WR for 10 years. There have been a lot of guys to flash and never do anything again. Mike is the epitome of consistent top level performance… for a decade. He has the streak, and he has a ring. He’s without a doubt a HOFer.
