2025 Fantasy Outlook
Evans logged nine carries in 10 games as a rookie with the Rams in 2023 but split the 2024 season between the Rams and Jets practice squads. The Rams' sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is fighting an uphill battle to make a Jets roster that has young running backs Breece Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis on the depth chart. Kene Nwangwu is also more likely than Evans to make the team, given Nwangwu's special teams contributions. Read Past Outlooks
Officially let go by Jets
The Jets waived Evans from the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Evans will hang up his cleats after a two-year NFL career. The 2023 sixth-round pick saw his only regular-season action in his rookie season with the Rams, when he turned nine carries into 19 yards across 10 regular-season games while mostly playing on special teams.

2023
A sixth-round pick in 2023, Evans suited up for 10 games as a rookie but made very little impact. The Ole Miss product has the tools to be a lead back, combining good size and speed with a plus burst and a knack for plowing through contact, but injuries, ball security issues and a general lack of football IQ hurt his draft stock. He's still a developmental project for the Rams, and the team's offseason additions to the RB depth chart, including third-round pick Blake Corum, suggest Evans isn't expected to make the leap in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To compete with 2-3 other RBs
Coach Sean McVay said Friday that the Rams will dress at least three of Evans, Royce Freeman, Darrell Henderson or Myles Gaskin for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Evans was the only healthy running back left on the Rams' 53-man roster following a Week 6 win over the Cardinals that saw Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers pick up an ankle and knee injury, respectively. Los Angeles has added three other options to the mix, though, as the team signed Freeman from its practice squad and Gaskin off Minnesota's practice squad in addition to signing Henderson to the practice squad spot vacated by Freeman. While Evans may still wind up seeing the majority of touches, the presence of two more veterans could cut into the rookie sixth-round draft pick's Week 7 workload substantially.
