Scouting report

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New Orleans Saints

Mike Evans had his highest receiving total since Week 4 last week, finishing 5-55-1 on seven targets. Evans has only hit Bruce Arians' desired 10-target goal once this season, and it's been noticeable. Evans has three games with 10 yards or less and has only hit 60+ yards twice. Evans' saving grace this season has been the fact he's scored in six of his eight games. It'll be interesting to see how he performs this week with the arrival of Antonio Brown, and a potential return of Chris Godwin. He'll face the Saints, a team he only had one reception against in Week 1. We still like Evans as a low-end WR1 in Week 9.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New York Giants

Mike Evans had another disappointing game last week, finishing 2-37 on two targets. What makes this game worse is the fact Tom Brady threw the ball 45 times, so it's not like Evans fell victim to the game flow as he has in the past. This now makes four games (out of seven) where Evans has finished with two receptions or less this season. It's also two games in a row where he's seen just two targets. We'd expect that to change this week, especially with no Chris Godwin in the lineup. Evans draws a favorable matchup against the Giants (No. 22 aFPA), and it's hard to see someone of Evans' talent not put big numbers for very long. He's still in WR1 range despite his recent struggles.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Las Vegas Raiders

Mike Evans' touchdown streak snapped, and the talented wideout finished with an ugly one-catch game for 10 yards. He's now had 10 or fewer yards in half of his games this season, which would be more concerning if he wasn't scoring touchdowns constantly. Evans fell victim to a run-heavy gameplan in Week 6, and that could be the case again in Week 7 against the Raiders. Even if it is, we'd still expect him to finish with more than one catch. Evans should be viewed as a WR2 this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Green Bay Packers

Despite several injuries at the receiver position, Mike Evans still didn't reach Bruce Arians' quota of 10 targets last week, although he came close with nine. Evans did, however, maintain his streak of scoring a touchdown in every game this season. He wasn't dominant, finishing 5-41 while playing hurt, but it was another nice outing for Evans. Evans is still battling an ankle injury as he was held out of practice on Wednesday. He should be good to go, but don't be surprised if he's not as effective. Despite the injury, Evans should still be viewed as a solid WR1 option this week against the Packers. Green Bay 19th in aFPA to receivers, and Evans has a high chance of scoring a touchdown considering what he's done this year. Start Evans with confidence.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Chicago Bears

Once again Mike Evans failed to reach Bruce Arians' 10 target goal, but it didn't really matter. Evans finished 7-122-1 on eight targets as his strong season has continued. He's had a pair of 100-yard games and a pair of 2-yard games, but he has scored every single week this season. With Chris Godwin expected to miss another game, Evans should see plenty of targets once again. He faces a Bears defense that has surprisingly not allowed a receiving touchdown to a wide receiver all season, the only team to do so. Even if Evans' touchdown streak comes to an end, he still should have a strong game. We like him as a lower-end WR1 play in Week 5.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

After Week 1, coach Bruce Arians said, "I never want to come out of a game without 10 targets to Mike [Evans], at least." Well, just two weeks later and he's already done that. Evans saw just four targets in Week 3, finishing with two receptions for two yards. Fortunately for fantasy owners, those two receptions were touchdowns. It's been an odd season for Evans as two of his games have a combined three receptions for four yards and three touchdowns. We expect Evans to have a strong game this week as Chris Godwin is expected to be sidelined. Even in a tough matchup, Evans should get enough targets to make him a WR1 play this week.

TB WR Mike Evans - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Denver Broncos

After Week 1's one-catch game from Mike Evans, Bruce Arians said he wanted to see his wideout get at least 10 targets a game. Well he hit that threshold in Week 2, and came away with a strong 7-104-1 performance. We'll see if Evans will hit 10 targets again now that Chris Godwin returns to the lineup in Week 3, but even if he doesn't, Evans should be productive. He faces a middle-of-the-road defense in the Broncos, and we like Evans as a low-end WR1, or high-end WR2 play this week. Start him with confidence.
