Buccaneers rookie receiver Mike Evans is shown getting into a fight with bouncers outside a South Beach nightclub in a video posted at TMZ.com, but his agent said the incident took place in March and that no arrests were made.

The site initially reported that the brawl took place Saturday night — which would have been just hours after the Bucs' preseason game in Tampa against the Dolphins — but Evans' agent, Deryk Gilmore, said it happened in March, before the Bucs selected Evans in the NFL draft in May. TMZ later updated its report.

This will probably have no bearing on Evans' availability this season as no arrests were made.

WR Mike Evans, six-foot-five and somewhere north of 220 pounds, is a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' new super-sized corps of pass-catchers already nicknamed the "Dunkaneers." He is adept at fighting off defenders for contested passes and he was drafted seventh overall in May because he's expected to create mismatches with smaller defenders.

Given his stature, one would think that the line of scrimmage would be his domain. Try to press a receiver of his size, who also has the speed to get downfield in a hurry if he slips by, and you're asking for trouble. The problem is, this is the NFL, and even cornerbacks of average size know how to deal with big receivers at the line.

Evans found that out on Saturday when he encountered a worthy opponent in Pro Bowl cornerback Alterraun Verner, who checks in at 5-10 and 186 pounds. The rookie from Texas A&M is eagerly working on all aspects of his game to speed his transition to the NFL, and getting off the line against press coverage is one of the most important issues.

Rookie WRs always come with risk in fantasy football and we rank Evans 45th. His ADP is the 10th round however, which is higher than a lot of those ranked around him. But that's typical for those who get excited about rookies with Evans' potential. He should be drafted as depth with the potential to progress up your WR depth chart.

All it took was one offseason of practices for All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to become convinced that QB Josh McCown is going to take the NFL by surprise in 2014.

"I don't know how much people really know how good Josh McCown is," McCoy said Thursday morning, via the Tampa Bay Times. "I think a lot of people are about to see how good he really is."

McCown has a chance to work his way into the QB2/QBBC ranks, assuming his fine play carries over from Chicago. He'll have Vincent Jackson and rookie Mike Evans to throw to, though the Buccaneers are expected to be somewhat run-heavy under defensive-minded Lovie Smith.

Buccaneers beat writer Pat Yasinskas predicts that WR Mike Evans will crack the 1,000-yard mark:

"Evans steps into a great situation as the No. 2 wide receiver. He will start opposite Vincent Jackson, who will draw most of the attention from opposing defenses. That means there should be plenty of opportunities for Evans. His size should give him a big advantage in one-on-one matchups with cornerbacks."

We currently project Evans for 64 carries for 879 yards and five TDs, making him the #43 receiver on our board. Rookies are generally overdrafted, but Evans is in a great situation and could be starter-worthy (top 36) this season.

WR Mike Evans now has just three weeks until the Buccaneers report for preseason training camp, even less until rookies are due back in town, but the first-round pick from Texas A&M is hard at work at getting himself in shape for the 2014 season.

"Physically, I'm not in tip-top shape. I'm getting back into my game shape," said Evans, who is training in Miami with a group of players that includes Bears receiver Brandon Marshall. "As far as injury-wise, I feel good. I've been running, and I feel 100 percent."

Evans missed much of his first month of practice with the Bucs with a hamstring injury suffered on the first day of voluntary minicamp on May 20. He was able to return in a limited capacity for the team's mandatory minicamp last month, and he expects to be fine when camp starts July 25 at One Buc Place.

Evans is training for two weeks in Miami at Fit Speed Athletic Performance, and he said his focus is dropping "7 to 10 pounds" with a goal of playing at about 230 pounds this fall.

Evans looks likely to start opposite Vincent Jackson and could very well turn into a fantasy starter as a rookie, though we are generally less bullish on rookies than other fantasy sites. Still, Evans certainly has the opportunity necessary to make an impact. If he has a healthy and productive training camp, he'll move up our rankings.

Before the draft, Mike Evans got compared to two current NFL wide receivers more than any others.

Buccaneers teammate Vincent Jackson and the other was Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall have the same imposing size and impressive athletic ability that Evans showed while he was at Texas A&M, leading many to point to the duo as a sign of what Evans could become once he hit the NFL. Evans got to spend the spring working with Jackson and he’s spending the early part of his summer working with Marshall.

Both men are training with Fit Speed Athletic Performance in Florida.

We have Evans ranked 48th, but as is the case with a lot of rookies, his ADP is high for his ranking. It currently sits in the 8th round while others ranked around him like Doug Baldwin, Briant Hartline and Dwayne Bowe, for example, are all the 12th round or later.

As Buccaneers QB Josh McCown said, WR Mike Evans has to learn the playbook before he’ll be truly effective. And he’s been bothered by a hamstring injury, which has limited his time in OTAs. But watch him go up and effortlessly pluck the ball with a one-handed grab in OTAs and the comparisons to Alshon Jeffery become even more apparent.

“Oh yeah, he’s missed a lot [of offseason work], there’s no other way to sugarcoat it,” HC Lovie Smith recently said. “We wanted Mike taking every rep — as a rookie you need to take every rep. Around the league, it happens, especially with a lot of new guys that those last couple of weeks they’re doing a lot of traveling, don’t work out exactly how they should, but we saw enough and we know who Mike is. He’s going to help us win a lot of games, [and] he’s gotten better. We need him, we can’t let him re-injure that hamstring, so we’ll be cautious with him.”

The article does a nice job of breaking down how the Bears use Jeffery, and how the Bucs might use Evans. As a rookie, Jeffery struggled to a 24-367-3 season in 10 games, missing time due to a broken hand and an injured knee. Jeffery is now a top 10 wideout after an excellent second season, but the struggles in his first year are a reminder that rookie wideouts rarely live up to expectations.

Buccaneers OC Jeff Tedford on rookie WR Mike Evans: "Mike obviously tweaked his hamstring a little bit but he'll be back. He showed his first couple days he's a real talent, there's no doubt about it."

Evans is likely to start opposite Vincent Jackson. He should be fantasy relevant provided the Bucs' passing offense is competent.
