Scouting report

by Jordan Heck

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Seattle
Mike Evans leads the NFL in targets, and that's even after Antonio Brown got an extra game on him on Thanksgiving. Tampa is committed to throwing him the football, even in Week 12 when he'll go up against Richard Sherman and the Seahawks.

This matchup obviously isn't ideal, but the Bucs clearly believe in their star receiver. He may not catch every pass, but he'll get enough looks to where fantasy owners should feel comfortable starting him as a WR1.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Kansas City
Mike Evans only had 66 yards on four receptions last week, which isn't even a bad game, but it's a huge downfall from what he's been doing. Part of the reason he didn't have big numbers is because Tampa went up by so much so fast, the Bucs decided to drain clock rather than play catch up.

Moving forward, there's no reason to consider benching Evans. He's an elite talent, and the only real threat in Tampa's receiving game. He'll be a WR1, must-play start this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Chicago
Mike Evans caught 11 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns last week in a performance some might call good. He leads the league with 103 targets (by a pretty large margin) and is close to the only receiver Jameis Winston trusts at this point.

Evans is a WR1 regardless of the matchup, but it's always beneficial when it's a favorable one as it is this week. Evans faces a Bears defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Evans is an absolute must-start play this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Atlanta
After some dominating games, we were disappointed last week with Mike Evans' performance. He caught just four passes for 50 yards in a favorable matchup against the Raiders. He'll look to bounce back this week against the Falcons, a team he took advantage of in Week 1 (5-99-1).

Don't be discouraged by his efforts last week. Evans is still a target machine, and the most talented receiver on Tampa Bay. He should find success against a favorable Falcons defense, and will be a must-start WR1 play.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Oakland
As expected, it's become the Mike Evans show in Tampa Bay. With no other real threats at receiver, Evans is getting all of the targets, all of the yards and all of the touchdowns.

We like Evans again this week in a great matchup against the Raiders. This game could end up being an offensive shootout, and Evans would benefit the most for the Bucs. There's not much to say other than he's a must-start WR1, and could end up being the week's highest scorer at the position.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at San Francisco
Even after a bye week, Mike Evans is still third in the league in overall targets (62). He's been extremely dominant this season, and we see no reason for him to decline. In fact, with Vincent Jackson sidelined, he may be featured even more, if that's possible.

He draws a favorable matchup against the 49ers in Week 7, so there's no reason to dislike him this week. He should be viewed as a must-start WR1 play.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Carolina
Mike Evans leads the league in targets (50), which is kind of unexpected. He's turning those targets into production as he's been a top-10 receiver in pretty much every category.

This week Evans will face a Carolina secondary that just allowed 300 yards to Julio Jones. We don't expect that production from Evans, but it does open the door for a big day.

Evans should be viewed as a strong WR1 this week.
