Buffalo trades WR Lee Evans to the Baltimore Ravens

After a mostly disappointing set of performances by the Baltimore wide receivers in their preseason opener, the Ravens have traded for Lee Evans @leeevans83 from the Buffalo Bills. Evans is now thrust into the starting lineup for the Ravens who have a number of unproven and rookie receivers formerly competing for a starting spot. Evans was limited to career-lows last season with 37 receptions and 578 yards.

Fantasy Analysis:

Evans will likely be asked to stretch the field and a more prominent role in Baltimore's offense can only improve his numbers but this doesn't suddenly make Evans a legit fantasy option. He has the upside to be a decent flex option, but not much else. The Ravens offense still runs through Ray Rice @RayRice27 and Anquan Boldin @AnquanBoldin isn't going anywhere as the team's No. 1 WR. Ultimately, this is also a big blow to the fantasy potential for rookie wideouts Torrey Smith @TorreySmithWR and Tandon Doss @Tandondoss.
