TB WR Mike Evans - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Denver
The Bucs have thrown the ball 50+ times in back-to-back weeks, and that's led to 39 targets for Mike Evans, which is second in the league. Evans has turned those targets into production as he's fifth in receiving yards (301), fourth in receptions (21) and second in receiving touchdowns (3).

Evans will get a difficult matchup against the Broncos' secondary this week, but don't let that scare you too much. There's a chance he gets shut down, but you don't want to bench someone who has been so good through three games.

Evans is a must-start WR1 option this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles
Mike Evans saw an insane 18 targets last week, and came away with six receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown. That's solid production, and it's clear Jameis Winston loves to look in Evans' direction, so owners should feel comfortable with that. It's also worth noting Evans has caught a touchdown in back-to-back games, and is just one TD away from tying last season's total.

Based on his targets, it's clear Evans will put up some type of production this week, but he does have a tough matchup. The Rams haven't allowed a touchdown to a receiver through two games, and have allowed the fourth-fewest overall points to the position.

We like Evans as a WR2 this week in the tough matchup.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Arizona
Mike Evans finished 5-99-1 on seven targets, which is a really good day at the office. The tall receiver made an athletic touchdown grab, reaching one-third of last season's total.

Evans will get a difficult matchup this week against Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals secondary. The Bucs may look to throw shorter, quick passes to Evans rather than the long bombs he had in Week 1 against Atlanta.

We like Evans as a WR1 play this week due to his big-play ability and potential production.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Atlanta
Mike Evans had more receptions and yards last season than his rookie campaign, but he had a dramatic drop off in touchdowns (12 to 3). Evans would appear to be a great red zone threat given his size.

If his goal is to improve on those numbers, Evans might have to wait a bit. He gets a tough matchup in the first week against the Falcons, a team he had some trouble with in 2015. Still, given his athletic ability and his role in this offense, Evans should be viewed as a low-end WR1 option in all formats.

TB WR Mike Evans - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Mike Evans had an increase in receptions (74) and receiving yards (1,206) in his sophomore season compared to his rookie year. He's become a favorite target of quarterback Jameis Winston's, and the two have continued to develop their chemistry in the offseason.

Fantasy Downside
Evans had a huge dropoff in touchdowns last season (3) compared to his rookie year (12). He's a big enough target that he should be better at scoring when the team gets near the goal line. Evans also has a problem with drops, as he led the league (according to SportingCharts) with 11 total dropped passes.

Bottom Line
Evans will see plenty of targets thrown in his direction, and now we have to see if he's worked on his drops. Even if the drops continue, Evans should be a borderline WR1 option this upcoming season.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Carolina

Mike Evans wasn't overly impressive last week as he finished with 61 yards on four receptions. Typically he's had pretty big games with Vincent Jackson out of the lineup, but last week wasn't great.

He'll face Josh Norman and the Panthers in Week 17, and he struggled against them earlier in the season going for 32 yards on three catches. With Jackson out of the lineup, Carolina can focus its attention on Evans and shut him down as much as possible. Evans will be more of a low-end WR2 this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Chicago

Mike Evans typically does well in games where Tampa Bay expects Vincent Jackson to be out. That was the case last week, and Evans exploded for 157 yards on nine receptions against a typically tough Rams secondary.

His assignment will get easier this week against Chicago. Look for Evans to go off again, especially with Vincent Jackson expected to be sidelined. Evans should be viewed as a strong WR1 option.
