2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a third-round pick by the Titans in 2020, it was hoped that Evans would earn more and more of the running back load for the team as he became more acclimated to the league, but he only lasted two seasons with Tennessee. Unfortunately, the Appalachian State product hasn't been able to gain much traction as a pro, and the Bills will be his fourth team in five seasons. The 5-10, 203-pounder hasn't had more than 30 rushing attempts or 12 targets at any of his stops in the NFL, and at this stage he's competing for a depth role in Buffalo behind top back James Cook.

Headed to Chicago
The Bears signed Evans to their practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Evans was dropped by the Bills on Oct. 29, but he's already found a new home in Chicago. The Appalachian State product's most recent in-game action came in 2023 with the Dolphins, when he appeared in two contests and recorded 16 rushing yards on two carries. He could be elevated to Chicago's active roster at some point this season, especially after Khalil Herbert was traded to the Bengals on Tuesday.

Ty Chandler's impressive Week 15 performance could keep him in the lead role even if Alexander Mattison returns from an ankle injury soon.
Roschon Johnson took over the lead role Monday night, but it's unclear if that will hold after a Week 13 bye.
Jonathan Taylor scored a pair of touchdowns, but Zack Moss got more work than in recent weeks and could limit JT's production moving forward.
AJ Dillon struggled in a lead role earlier this season, but he's played better recently and now gets another chance to replace an injured Aaron Jones as Green Bay's starting running back.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
The Titans spent a third-round pick on Evans in the 2020 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would serve as the team's change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry. Evans made a strong early impression with explosive performances in training camp. However, fumbling issues and a couple different injuries ultimately limited to him only 14 carries and two receptions in his rookie campaign. He found a steadier role on special teams, however, as he racked up 206 yards as a kick returner. Unfortunately, a knee issue landed Evans on IR and he'll miss at least three games out of the gate this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking reps at WR
Evans is working partially as a wide receiver during OTAs, Buck Reising of AtoZSports Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars' Travis Etienne got buzz for working as a receiver earlier this offseason, and it looks like the Titans intend to subject second-year back Evans to a similar regimen. Coach Mike Vrabel called Evans "a versatile player" who can handle being employed at more than one position, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Derrick Henry is Tennessee's clear top tailback, but he's been under 20 catches in all five years of his career, so there's room for a change-of-pace option to emerge in this backfield. The offseason departures of Corey Davis and Jonnu Smith also opens up a significant amount of available targets, which Evans could end up benefiting from as a sophomore.
