TB WR Mike Evans - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Atlanta Falcons

There's the Mike Evans we know and love. After seeing 15 total targets in Weeks 1-3, Baker Mayfield looked Evans' way 14 times against the Eagles. Evans responded with eight catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. He also ran his most routes in a game this season (42). Evans will look to continue his momentum on a short week against a Falcons team that struggles to rush the passer, which should allow Mayfield more time to continue eyeing Evans.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Mike Evans' quest for an 11th straight 1,000-yard season is off to a quiet start. He has just 120 yards through three games. That's on pace for just 680 yards. He should easily surpass that and challenge for 1,000 yards again, but right now, he's taking a bit of a backseat to Chris Godwin. That could start this week against the Eagles, who can be a bit inconsistent in the secondary. The Eagles don't exactly have Patrick Surtain on their team. Evans is still a fine WR2 as the Bucs look to get back on track on offense.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

A quiet start so far for Mike Evans, despite the Bucs having some overall success on offense through two weeks, though Evans did have two touchdown catches in Week 1. It doesn’t get any easier this week as he faces star cornerback Patrick Surtain II. Even with the tough matchup, Evans remains one of the top options at the position thanks to his talent and constant opportunities. Keep him in your lineups.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

Another week, another strong fantasy day for Mike Evans thanks to 61 yards and two touchdowns on five catches against Washington. He'll see either Carlton Davis or Terrion Arnold in Week 2. Davis was picked on often by the Rams while Arnold held his own despite being tested at times by Rams QB Matthew Stafford. Regardless, it's hard to ignore Evans at this point. He's the favorite target of Baker Mayfield and with how strong this Bucs offense can be, it only adds to the value of Evans in fantasy. Evans is a WR1 this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Ten seasons, 10 1,000-yard campaigns for Mike Evans, who will be in Canton someday. Evans was WR4 in fantasy last season after a 79-1255-13 season as the Buccaneers won their third straight NFC South crown. 2023 was also his third-most receiving yards and second-highest touchdown total of his career. Not bad for a guy entering Year 11. Evans and Baker Mayfield built a nice connection that will continue to grow with Mayfield back in Tampa.

Fantasy Downside

Normally, you would say having Chris Godwin around could take targets away, but Evans was targeted 136 times. You're almost nitpicking at this point, even with saying he's 31 years old.

2024 Bottom Line

Evans is still a prolific receiver and will be, at worst, a high-end WR2 that easily has WR1 upside. An 11th straight 1,000-yard season is easily on the table for Evans.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs New Orleans Saints

Mike Evans had himself another huge game last week, finishing 7-86-2 on nine targets. Evans has been a touchdown machine this season, scoring in all but four of his 15 games. Evans has been a draft day steal as he's WR3 in half-PPR scoring on the year. We see no reason why he'll slow down this week in a matchup vs. the Saints (14th aFPA). Evans has had a bit of a complicated history vs. New Orleans, but that is mostly tied to CB Marshon Lattimore who is expected to miss the matchup. Evans should be viewed as a must-start WR1 in Week 17.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

After a disappointing one-catch game in Week 14, Mike Evans bounced back last week with a stat line of 4-57-1. Evans has scored 11 touchdowns this season, and he's nearly scoring one a week as he's played in 14 games. Evans draws a good matchup this week against the Jaguars (21st aFPA) who have given up the 7th-most average fantasy points to WRs over the past four weeks. Evans remains a strong bet to score a TD, and should be viewed as a solid WR1 option for Week 16.
