Mike Evans Hauls In Touchdown Pass Against Washington
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught all seven of his targets for 92 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He once again established himself as the top target for Baker Mayfield, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Buccaneers fell to the Commanders on a last-second field goal. Evans is coming off a storybook 2024 campaign in which he delivered his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season despite missing three games due to injury. The 31-year-old has cemented himself as a high-end WR2 on a yearly basis, with plenty of weekly appearances in the WR1 range throughout his career. Even as he enters his 12th NFL season with time not on his side, Evans remains a top wide receiver and should be regarded as a high-end WR2 heading into 2025 fantasy football.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans did miss some practice time this week, but is ready to go for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Washington Commanders. Evans was limited to begin the week before sitting out of practice both Thursday and Friday. DFS players shouldn't be concerned as Evans only sat out for rest purposes to keep him refreshed for this weekend. Evans has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since he returned from injury in Week 12. The 31-year-old has posted 11 straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards or more, which is extremely impressive. Evans has been one of the most consistent wideouts in the league and become a favorite target of quarterback Baker Mayfield. He'll now get a favorable matchup against the Commanders secondary on Sunday. Evans won't be a cheap DFS option, but he should be worth the risk.
Mike Evans Posts 11th Straight 1,000-Yard Campaign
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught nine of his 14 targets for 89 yards during their victory over the New Orleans Saints. As a result, Evans posted his 11th-straight 1,000 yard season. Evans is the only player in NFL history to tally at least 1,000 yards in his first 10+ seasons. He now only sits three 1,000-yard campaigns behind Jerry Rice for the NFL record. The 31-year-old even missed three games this season due to a hamstring injury but was still able to continue his incredible streak. During Weeks 12 through 17, Evans averaged a strong 96.7 yards per game. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran wideout to remain Baker Mayfield's top target during the playoffs. Evans should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all playoff competitions and would carry elite upside in DFS if the Buccaneers draw a favorable matchup in the Wild Card round.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will look to make history during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wideout needs 85 yards to tie Jerry Rice's record of 11 straight sessions with 1,000 receiving yards. In addition, Evans will earn a $3 million incentive if he hauls in at least five receptions and surpasses 85 yards. The Bucs have a must-win game ahead of them against a banged up Saints roster. Evans has surpassed the 85-yard mark in three of his last five games, which puts him in good position to hit this milestone. Regardless, Evans remains a solid WR1 for a plus-matchup against the Saints secondary in Week 18.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught eight of his nine targets for 97 yards and two scores during their demanding victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Evans did most of his damage in the first half by scoring twice. He caught his first score on a two-yard pass in the opening frame and his second score on a one-yard pass in the second quarter. His longest reception of the day went for 34 yards. His receptions, targets, and yardage total paced all Tampa wideouts and only tied for the most receiving scores with rookie Jalen McMillan. Since Week 13, Evans has found the end zone five times in five contests. During this stretch, he has tallied at least 90 yards in three of the five games. He will look to stay hot next weekend against a struggling New Orleans secondary.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is coming off a five-catch performance against the Dallas Cowboys last week. Fantasy managers were probably hopeful for more from Evans who finished with five receptions on eight targets for 69 yards in the loss. The veteran wideout has been busy since returning from injury. Evans has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since Week 12. The 31-year-old gets a plus-matchup in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers defense. A secondary that allowed him to torch them for 118 yards on eight receptions and one score during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should consider Evans a low-end WR1 for this game.
Mike Evans Adds 69 Yards As Quest For Milestone Continues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught just five of his eight targets for 69 yards during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Evans was the Buccaneers' leading receiver, but managers would have liked to see him rack up a little more production or find the end zone with a potential berth in the fantasy championship on the line. For the veteran receiver, all eyes are on the 1,000-yard mark. Evans has eclipsed 1,000 yards in each of his first 10 NFL seasons, but he's not a lock to reach that threshold in 2024. The 31-year-old needs 182 yards over his final two games to achieve the big milestone. From a fantasy perspective, he should continue to be viewed as a low-end WR1 option heading into next week's battle with a subpar Carolina Panthers defense.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (rest) has been removed from the injury report after getting in a few limited practice sessions this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as the Bucs were just trying to keep their veteran wideout fresh for this Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Evans is good to go and should be treated as a WR1 for this plus-matchup against the banged up Cowboys defense. Last week, Evans hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 31-year-old has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since returning from injury. He should continue being an elite fantasy option this weekend.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (rest) and tight end Cade Otton (knee) were seen practicing on Friday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Evans had been absent on Wednesday, but he returned to practice on Thursday and should be all set to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 31-year-old caught nine passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns last week, and he needs 251 yards over his next three games to achieve his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season. Otton, meanwhile, had not practiced yet this week, so the fact that he was able to get on the field in some capacity Friday is a good sign. Fantasy managers will still want to check the Buccaneers' final injury report for confirmation on his status, but his presence Friday is a step in the right direction. Otton would rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy tight end if active against Dallas.
Mike Evans Posts Outstanding Performance In Week 15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had seemingly no issues against the Los Angeles Chargers defense on Sunday. The veteran wideout gave a somewhat disappointing outing last week, but came ready to play in Week 15. Evans hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout win. The 31-year-old missed some practice time this week due to a hamstring issue, but it didn't look like it bothered him on Sunday. Evans and quarterback Baker Mayfield have great chemistry together and it showed this weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to lean on Evans as a WR1 for next week's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. The same Cowboys that just lost top defensive back Trevon Diggs (knee) for the season.
