Mike Evans’ receiving yards at home and away

, ,

Against his share of what his opponents usually allowed receivers, Mike Evans was 4.0 yards under at home and 66.6 yards over away in 2026, 4 games against 1. The plain averages are 64.5 and 113.0, a difference of 48.5. All 3 games outside the division were at home. Both first-half games were at home.

One game away is one game, not a sample, but maybe you can find something if you squint.

Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed receivers in its other 2026 games, minus 0.2 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for receivers that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s receivers’ receiving yards in his games, 50%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 99% of the difference the model predicts.
