Rashaan Evans

Rashaan Evans is listed as a full participant at practice and is expected to play in the Titans’ Week 2 matchup against the Texans. Evans is predicted to be on a snap count of around 10-20 snaps.

Steady veteran Wesley Woodyard probably will not be impacted and is still the inside linebacker to own here. The second inside linebacker spot will likely be shared between Rashaan Evans, Will Compton and Jayon Brown. Evans’ snaps will probably come at the expense of Compton with Brown remaining a passing down specialist.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has been battling an undisclosed injury for nearly a month now but was a limited participant in practice this week. This may just end up being a one-week absence. Evans is a highly regarded first round pick and will be a good option for IDP owners this season once he gets back on the field.

The Ravens traded away the No. 22 pick that they acquired from the Bills, to the Titans for the No. 25 pick, though we don't know the other compensation at this time. With that pick, the Titans selected Alabama linebacker Rashaan Evans.

Fantasy Impact

This is a pick that we had mocked to the Titans countless times, though we didn't think they'd have to trade up for it. It's clear the Titans were concerned about the Patriots who were sitting there at pick No. 23. Evans comes from Alabama, where most players are considered pro-ready, though there were a lot of playmakers surrounding Evans while there. Still, he's going to fill a void left by Avery Williamson in free agency at inside linebacker for them. This was clearly a pick based on team need, and that's something that the Titans don't have much of.
