Pick 1: Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans
Less than 6.5 fantasy points
The Notre Dame tight end was quiet in the Irish's win over Indiana in the first round of the CFP with just 3.7 fantasy points (2 catches for 17 yards). He's posted less than 6.5 fantasy points in 7/11 games. PrizePicks' fantasy score is a full point per reception, so keep that in mind when taking these squares.
Evans has only posted more than 3 catches in three games this season and he's not a big-play threat with just a 6.9-yard average depth of target. Even if he does post 3-4 catches, which is possible if Notre Dame gets into a negative game script that requires them to throw more, he could still stay under this number.
Here's what Evans did in ND's closest games (he didn't play vs. Texas A&M):
- 2 catches, 26 yards vs. NIU
- 3-14 vs. Louisville
- 4-26 vs. Georgia Tech
- 5-59-1 vs. USC
Our projections like him to finish with less than the listed total of 6.5 fantasy points.
