Pros: Evans should return to the sole No. 1 wideout status on this team after the departure of Terrell Owens. He scored seven touchdowns on one of the worst offenses in '09. This year's version might not be significantly better, but they should have more stable offensive line and quarterback play and Evans won't have competition for touches from Terrell Owens. New head coach Chan Gailey is offense-minded and should find ways to make use of Evans' considerable talents. He has a career average of 15.8 yards per reception.

Cons: Though they should improve behind center, Buffalo's primary options to start at quarterback are Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Brohm ... not exactly a list of future Hall of Famers. Evans has struggled to rack up the yardage or receptions since his breakout campaign in 2006. He managed just 44 receptions for 612 yards last year. His yards-per-reception average dipped to a career-low 13.9 in '09.

Fantasy tip: Evans is one of the more undervalued wideouts in fantasy drafts. He's going, on average, around the middle of the ninth round. Now, don't take that to mean he'll rebound completely, but he's worth taking a risk on as your No. 3 wideout.
