Look of the Day 10/21: Oh my heavens, it's Mike Evans

We finished off last week with a Look of the Day winner on Luis Gil over 1.5 earned runs, and we're hoping to keep the momentum rolling into the new week. Let's head back to the NFL and check out our favorite bet for the "Monday Night Football" doubleheader.

Look of the Day: Mike Evans 60 + receiving yards (+105 DraftKings)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hosting the Baltimore Ravens in the first leg of this week's "MNF" doubleheader, and we're looking for Evans to have a big game through the air. 

Evans has been a boom-or-bust player through six weeks. The veteran wide receiver has cleared 60 receiving yards three times, but he averaged only 31.0 receiving yards in his other three games. Those performances are explainable, though. Two of those games came against Marshon Lattimore and Pat Surtain II, and the other came against the Detroit Lions when the Bucs were winning the whole game and didn't need to throw much.

When the game script calls for Evans, he's stepped up to the task. The Buccaneers will need him on Monday night based on how this game should play out. The Ravens can score 30 points on anyone, so the Bucs will need to air it out to keep up. 

They won't be able to run the ball effectively against Baltimore's No. 1-ranked rushing defense, but the Ravens rank dead last in passing yards allowed per game and 31st in yards allowed per pass. Baltimore gave up 103 receiving yards to Rashee Rice, 110 to Davante Adams and 193 to Ja'Marr Chase. 

The way to beat this Ravens defense is deep down the field, and Evans is the perfect weapon to exploit their weakness.
