TB WR Mike Evans - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Mike Evans broke out as a rookie last season, finishing with 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns. He did so despite having poor quarterback play in Josh McCown and Mike Glennon. This year he has No. 1 draft pick Jameis Winston throwing him the ball, he has a full year of experience under his belt and he has a new offensive coordinator in Dirk Koetter. There's a lot to like about Evans as he heads into his second year.

Fantasy Downside
Is Evans headed toward a sophomore slump? We've seen it before where a wideout has a lot of success in his first season and then fails to live up to expectations the next year. There has been a lot of change in Tampa over the last year, so it's possible Evans doesn't adapt well.

Bottom Line
While there has been a lot of change, a lot of it is for the better. Koetter's system should favor Evans, and a new quarterback should give him a higher rate of catching passes thrown his direction. Evans showed a lot of promise last season, and there is still room for him to improve. He should be viewed as a WR1.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 17 vs. New Orleans

Mike Evans can only do so much. His numbers have faltered lately due to the play of quarterback Josh McCown. Evans hasn't surpassed 50 receiving yards in any of his last five games. He has four touchdowns in that span, but you can't always expect an end zone visit.

This week he gets a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Evans missed the early season matchup with an injury.

Considering how explosive Evans is, it's hard to see him below a WR1.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 16 vs. Green Bay

Mike Evans had his worst game of the season last week. He caught just two of his eight targets for 13 yards. That performance set a new season (and career) low in receptions and yards. He did catch his ninth touchdown in seven games, but his giant slip in production is a bit concerning.

This week Evans gets a favorable matchup against the Packers. When teams face Green Bay they often end in shootouts in order to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers and company. If Tampa Bay gets into a shootout with Green Bay, you can expect plenty of targets heading towards Evans.

The rookie has a strong chance to score and should be viewed as a WR1 option.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 15 vs. Carolina Panthers

Mike Evans only caught four passes last week against Detroit, but two of them went for touchdowns. He now has three two-touchdown games in the last six weeks. If he was able to have a good game in a tough matchup against the Lions, then he should be able to have a good game in a better matchup against Carolina.

When Evans played the Panthers earlier this season he caught five passes for 37 yards. But his role has increased significantly since.

Evans should be viewed as a borderline WR1 this week. He'll get plenty of looks (at least nine targets in each of his last six games) and has a great chance to find the endzone.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 14 vs. Detroit

After three games in a row with at least seven receptions, 100 yards and a touchdown Mike Evans has cooled down. He has 47 and 49 yards in his last two games, respectively. He's still being targeted at a high rate, but it was unrealistic for him to keep up the production from earlier in the season.

This week he gets a tough matchup against the Lions. Detroit is one of the best defenses in football and has allowed the third fewest points to opposing wideouts.

Evans still has some value because of his incredible potential, but a bad matchup should raise some concerns. He should be viewed as a WR2 at best this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Evans is starting to become the only good thing in the Buccaneers' offense. He's caught eight touchdowns in the last seven games. His 100-yard streak ended last week as he was only able to haul in three of his 11 targets for 47 yards. But he still managed to find the endzone.

He could face some troubles this week against Cincinnati. The Bengals have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing wideouts this season. In more than half of their games they've held receivers to no touchdowns.

Evans should be viewed as a WR2 because of his tremendous upside, but just realize his numbers could take a hit this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Mike Evans - Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears

Over the last four weeks Mike Evans has 536 receiving yards, the most in the NFL. His best performance came a week ago when he hauled in seven receptions for 209 yards and two touchdowns. It should be noted it was his third consecutive game with exactly seven receptions.

Evans will likely lose some production off of his season-high a week ago, but he's still a dangerous threat. His matchup against the Bears isn't the greatest, but at this point he appears to be matchup proof. Continue to ride the hot streak until he cools down.

He should be viewed as a WR1
