Quick answer: Mike Evans is the red-zone TD machine WR. His weekly board: receiving yards over 65.5 to 85.5 (-110 to -125), total TDs over 0.5 (+105 to +160), longest reception over 22.5 to 30.5 (-115 to -130), receptions over 4.5 to 6.5 (-115 to -135). The edge lives in his TDs prop because his red-zone target share with Baker Mayfield is among the league’s highest.

Mayfield’s red-zone targets. Opposing CB matchup. Long-history of contested-catch dominance.
TDs Prop (the structural edge)
TDs over 0.5 hits ~58-65% in neutral matchups. Evans’ red-zone usage produces TDs at one of the highest rates in NFL.

Common Mistakes
Ignoring Mayfield status. Same-game parlay traps.
