Rashaan Evans
LB - Atlanta Falcons
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
The Falcons signed LB Rashaan Evans to their practice squad.
Fantasy Impact
Atlanta released Dane Cruikshank as the corresponding move. Evans will add depth in the linebacker room for Atlanta.
The Cowboys have elevated LB Rashaan Evans from their practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game with the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
This is Evans final practice squad elevation and the team will have to sign him to the 53-man roster if they choose to play him again this season. A decision on Evans’ roster status should be determined next week.
Rashaan Evans is expected to sign with the Cowboys on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Evans has yet to take the field for an NFL game this season, as his free agency did not go as expected. After spending four years in mostly a starting role for the Titans, the 2018 first-round draft pick recorded a career-high 159 tackles for the Falcons last season. Still, Evans ended up on the Eagles' practice squad this past preseason and requested his release after just four days there. The Cowboys are adding a tackling machine to their already strong defensive unit.
Former Titans' LB Rashaan Evans has signed with the Philadelphia practice squad, according to Jordan Schultz on Twitter.
Fantasy Impact
The signing of Evans to the team's practice squad comes on the same day the team reports Nakobe Dean may miss significant time, and given the lack of depth at the LB position for the Eagles, Evans could be elevated for the team's Week 2 Thursday Night game versus Minnesota.
According to Adam Schefter, LB Rashaan Evans has agreed to a one-year deal with the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Evans, who started for the Titans last season is taking his talents to Atlanta. The veteran LB recorded 57 tackles and two sacks during last season. With a lack of depth or much skill at the LB position, this acquisition for the Falcons is an excellent one.
