Mitchell Evans Catches Three Targets for 20 Yards in Week 13

Monday, December 1, 12:37 PM

Mitchell Evans caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and totaled 5.0 PPR points. The Carolina TE played on 53% of snaps in Week 13, his highest percentage since Week 6. In 13 games played this season, Evans has averaged 3.1 PPR points per game. After a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints for the second time in 2025 in Week 15. Over the last four weeks leading up to Week 13, the Saints ranked 19th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs. When the Panthers last faced New Orleans, Evans was a non-factor, failing to catch his only target. Although the matchup is favorable for TEs, none of the Carolina TEs should be rostered during the fantasy football playoffs. Evans has been targeted more than once in a game four times this year.

Elijah Arroyo News

Elijah Arroyo Worth Buying Low on in Dynasty Formats?

Sunday, June 7, 11:48 AM

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo recorded just 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 26 targets across 13 games as a rookie. Arroyo flashed upside as a pass-catcher, but his path to playing time was largely blocked by fellow Seahawks tight end AJ Barner. Entering 2026, Barner remains in place as the nominal TE1 in Seattle, and veteran tight end Eric Saubert will likely continue to play a role in the offense as a blocker. However, Arroyo recorded 590 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in his final collegiate season at Miami and remains the highest-ceiling receiving tight end in Seattle. The Seahawks may also be forced to throw the ball a bit more in 2026 after finishing the 2025 season with the fourth-fewest pass attempts (481) in the NFL, which would open up more opportunities for all of the team's pass-catchers. Arroyo's profile carries risk, but he could be a worthy buy-low candidate for dynasty managers after his underwhelming rookie campaign.
