Evans (healthy scratch) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
With Chase Brown back from IR, Evans is the odd man out in the Bengals' Week 12 backfield. Also in the mix against Pittsburgh Sunday are starter Joe Mixon, as well as Trayveon Williams.

Evans played two of the Bengals' 64 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, lead back Joe Mixon dominated the snaps and touches for the Bengals, leaving little opportunity left over for Evans and Trayveon Williams, who combined for one target and no carries. Williams out-snapped Evans by a 14-2 margin Sunday, so he would appear to be next in line for the starting role if Mixon were to miss time at any point.

Evans failed to record a single snap in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Evans did not see the field Sunday, as the veteran has fallen down the depth chart behind both Trayveon Williams and Chase Brown. With that said, Joe Mixon remains the only reliable fantasy back in this offense going forward, barring an injury. Evans should remain far of the fantasy radar going forward. The Bengals face the Cardinals in Week 5.

Evans is inactive for Monday night's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
With Evans the odd man out in the Bengals' Week 3 backfield, Trayveon Williams and Chase Brown are available to handle complementary snaps versus Los Angeles behind top running back Joe Mixon.

Evans (hamstring) is no longer listed on the Bengals' injury report ahead of Monday night's Week 3 game against the Rams, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans played just seven offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss and then missed last week's game against the Ravens. He's been no threat to Joe Mixon's workload and might even be behind Trayveon Williams on the depth chart, a context that limits Evans' fantasy utility.

Evans (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans' absence will leave the team without its No. 3 running back and kick returner. In his place, Charlie Jones, who handles punt return duties, will likely also take over on kicks, while running back Chase Brown will make his NFL debut after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft.

Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Evans will carry an injury designation into Cincinnati's matchup versus the Ravens in Week 2. If he's out, fifth-round rookie Chase Brown would likely be in line to make his NFL debut.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor added that the team will evaluate Evans -- who didn't practice Thursday -- on Saturday to see where the running back is in terms of his availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Evans thus appears likely to be officially listed as questionable when the Bengals release their final Week 2 injury report later Friday.

Evans (hamstring) is present for Friday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring issue, so it will be encouraging if he's even officially listed as a limited participant. He logged three touches Week 1 while splitting depth work behind Joe Mixon with Trayveon Williams.

Evans (hamstring) wasn't in uniform for Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was listed as limited Wednesday, so the fact that he didn't suit up for Thursday's session suggests that the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens could be in danger. If Evans ends up being ruled out, Chase Brown, who was a healthy scratch Week 1, would likely be active versus Baltimore to provide depth behind top back Joe Mixon.
