TB WR Mike Evans - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

Mike Evans was active last week despite having an illness, but fantasy owners probably wish he was inactive. Evans was a huge letdown, finishing 2-28 on five targets. For now, we'll just toss it up as a bad game. He had the illness excuse, and the Bucs' offense struggled as a whole to move (and keep) the ball.

He'll face a Panthers defense Thursday night, which he struggled against a year ago. Evans went 1-16 in his first game and 4-48 in his second game. He should be viewed as a low-end WR1 option with a high ceiling this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Mike Evans put up his fifth-straight 1,000-yard season in 2018, and did so with a career-high 1,524 yards. The Bucs lost Adam Humphries and DeSean Jackson in the offseason, which could free up some extra targets for Evans. Although one could also argue more focus will be placed on Evans now that they're gone. Either way, though, Evans will find a way to be successful, just like he has for all five of his professional seasons.

He opens up the year in a favorable matchup against the 49ers, who allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts a year ago. Expect Evans to produce at a high level, making him a WR1 play against San Francisco in Week 1.

TB WR Mike Evans - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Mike Evans set a new career-high in 2018 with 1,524 receiving yards. He finished as the No. 8 receiver in fantasy scoring as he survived Tampa Bay’s revolving door at quarterback. Evans was dominant, finishing half his games (8) with 100+ receiving yards. He also had 10 games with 6+ receptions. DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries are now gone, which should free up some targets for Evans this season. There’s no reason he can’t continue to produce another 1,000-yard season as he has in his first five years.

Fantasy Downside
Evans’ touchdown production has been shaky in his five years as a pro. He scored 12 in his first season, three in his second, 12 in his third, five in his fourth and eight in his fifth. His touchdowns could dip again as Chris Godwin and O.J. Howard emerge as bigger threats in 2019. Also, the Bucs had the fourth-fewest rushing yards in 2018. If Bruce Arians is able to get the running game going in Tampa, it will result in less overall production for the wideouts.

2019 Bottom Line
Evans should be viewed as a fairly safe WR1 in 2019. It will be difficult for him to maintain what he did last season by going over 1,500 yards, but he should still be able to top 1,000 yards. He’s a fairly safe low-end WR1 option who you can get later than most of the other top wideouts. Evans has produced every season since joining the NFL, and there’s no reason why he should see a major dropoff, especially in Arians’ offense.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Mike Evans went 6-90-1 last week as his strong season continues. He's been a lone bright spot for Tampa Bay in 2018 as he's third in the league in receiving yards (a career-best 1,418). He gets a favorable matchup against the Falcons this week and should continue to be trusted as a strong WR1.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys

Mike Evans caught four of his nine targets for 121 yards, which is pretty incredible considering Jameis Winston finished with 157 total passing yards. So Evans accounted or 77 percent of Winston's yards. Evans now has seven 100-yard games on the season as he's second in the league in overall receiving yards.

He might struggle a bit this week, however, as the Cowboys are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Dallas has held entire receiving groups to under 100 yards in five games this season. Evans is more of a WR2 this week against the Cowboys.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore Ravens

Mike Evans led the Bucs in receiving last week finishing with 86 yards on four receptions. He's now had at least 80 yards in eight of his 13 starts this season. But while he's getting decent yards, Evans has scored just twice in his last 10 outings. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Tampa Bay, which has hurt Evans' value.

Making matters worse, he gets a tough matchup this week against the Ravens who are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Baltimore has held WRs scoreless in three straight games, making Evans more of a WR2 this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New Orleans Saints

Mike Evans caught four of his six targets for 48 yards last week. It was his second-lowest output of the season, and just the second time he's finished below 50 yards. Before that performance, he had four 100-yard games in his last six outings, so we're not too concerned with the one bad stat line.

He should bounce back this week in a favorable matchup against the Saints. He went off against them in Week 1, catching seven passes for 147 yards and a touchdown. He might not get quite that this week, but he has a higher ceiling than most. We like him just outside of WR1 range as a strong WR2.
