Mike Evans Explodes For 162 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans made easy work of the Carolina Panthers defense on Sunday. The veteran wideout hauled in seven of his 12 targets for 162 yards and one touchdown in the win. Honestly, it could've easily been a 200-yard game for Evans if quarterback Baker Mayfield didn't miss him on a few throws. Regardless, it was a great game for Evans as he notches his 10th straight season of at least 1,000 receiving yards. Fantasy managers should have him on the WR1 radar for next week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Evans Has WR1 Appeal For Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been tough to keep out of the end zone with nine touchdowns through his first 11 games this season. The veteran wideout has been red-hot lately with four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a decent matchup against the shaky Carolina Panthers secondary in Week 13. Evans is clearly the favorite target of quarterback Baker Mayfield. That being said, Evans should continue to see a high usage every week. He has seen nine or more targets in each of the last three weeks. All things considered, Evans should be a low-end WR1 for this Week 13 contest.

Mike Evans Remains On WR1 Radar For Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in four of his last five games. The veteran wideout has been the focal point for this offense in the passing game. Evans has surpassed 40 receiving yards in every game, but one this season. He should continue having success against the Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 12. A defense that has allowed eight touchdowns to opposing wideouts through 10 games. Evans is clearly the Bucs top target, so fantasy managers should feel confident with him as a low-end WR1 for this week.

Mike Evans Targeted 12 Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was the top option for this offense during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout hauled in five of his 12 targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 loss. The lack of efficiency is frustrating, but fantasy managers will take the touchdown to help salvage his fantasy value. Evans is the Bucs' top target in the passing game, which is clear from his team-high 12 targets during this game. He should remain on the WR1 radar for the Week 12 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts.

Mike Evans Off The Injury Report, Will Play On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (quad) has been removed from the team's injury report and will play in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout has been dealing with a quad issue and got in a limited practice on Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday. Even though he didn't practice to end the week, it was likely just a rest day for Evans as he was removed from the final injury report. Tampa Bay has a tough matchup on the road against the Niners but Evans should still be able to post solid numbers. He is a low-end WR1 on Sunday.

Mike Evans Takes Part In Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) was seen participating in Thursday's practice after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Evans is dealing with what's believed to be a minor quadriceps injury this week. It doesn't appear to be an injury that will keep the 30-year-old limited or out in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers, but it's something we'll continue to keep an eye on as Sunday's game approaches. Evans has been quarterback Baker Mayfield's unquestioned No. 1 target this year, and he's on pace for his 10th straight 1,000-yard receiving season. As long as Evans is active this weekend against the Niners, he's a must-start in fantasy lineups, even in the less-than-ideal matchup.

Mike Evans Limited With Quad Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday with a quadriceps injury. It's not a serious injury that is expected to put Evan's status for the Week 11 game against the San Francisco 49ers in jeopardy, but it's something worth watching as the 30-year-old heads into a difficult matchup on the road this weekend. Unbelievably, Evans is on pace to post his 10th straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2023. The four-time Pro Bowler should remain in all starting fantasy lineups unless he has setback with his quad injury later this week. Through nine games this year, he's posted a 43-737-6 line.

Mike Evans Explodes For 143 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans continued his strong campaign against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The veteran wideout made easy work of the Titans secondary in Week 11. He hauled in six of his 10 targets for 143 yards and a touchdown in the win. This marks the second time this season that Evans has surpassed the 100-yard mark in a game. The touchdown was his sixth as he continues to operate as the primary deep threat for this offense. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Evans to slow down anytime soon. He'll remain on the WR1 radar for the upcoming Week 11 matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Mike Evans Remains In WR1 Territory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has at least 80 receiving yards or a touchdown in each of his last three games. That is good news for fantasy managers as he heads into a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans. A defensive unit that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wideouts heading into this Week 10 matchup. Last week, Evans hauled in four of his five targets for 87 yards in the loss to the Houston Texans. He remains the main deep threat for this offense, which should continue to give him weekly value. Fantasy managers should consider Evans a possible WR1 for this upcoming matchup with the Titans.

Mike Evans Goes For 87 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was able to bounce back after his 39-yard performance last week. The veteran wideout hauled in four of his five targets for 87 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Houston Texans. It was nearly a much bigger game for Evans, but he was stopped just short of the goal line on a 54-yard reception. Regardless, it was still a fairly productive day for the veteran receiver. He continues to be the Bucs' primary option for deep balls, which shouldn't change going forward. Evans will be a high-end WR2 for next week's matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

NOVEMBER 4: Confirming the Jets’ attempt at pulling off an Adams trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter adds that New York contemplated such a move “throughout the summer.” Patience was exercised in terms of waiting for when to approach the Raiders, and a swap before the deadline would not have come as a shock given his frustrations with […]

Mike Evans Remains On WR1 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in five of his seven games this season. The veteran wideout has been a reliable deep threat option for the Bucs' offense so far. Evans has scored in back-to-back games, but finished with a season-low 39 yards last week. He should bounce back against the shaky Houston Texans secondary in Week 9. Evans has seen at least six targets in every game, but one heading into this contest. He should be able to provide WR1 value as the Bucs primary weapon on offense.

Mike Evans Held To Three Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was held in check throughout most of Thursday's Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran wideout was able to somewhat salvage his value with a 24-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with three receptions on six targets for 39 yards and one score in the loss to the Bills. Mike has now finished with 50 receiving yards or less in three of the last four games. The hope is that it'll get a bit better against the Houston Texans next week. Evans should remain on the WR1 radar for that game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen a high usage early in the season. The veteran wideout has at least eight targets in five of his six games. The Bucs continue to lean on Evans in the passing game and that's likely to continue going forward. Evans will have a tougher matchup versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. A defensive unit that has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season. Despite that, Evans should still remain a WR1 for this upcoming Thursday Night showdown.

Mike Evans Snags Touchdown In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans bounced back nicely during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout hauled in six of his eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Evans looked healthy after suffering a hamstring injury a few weeks ago. He continues to be the deep threat option for this offense and that should remain the case going forward.

Mike Evans Has WR2 Value For Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen 10 or more targets in three of his five games this season. The veteran wideout has been a popular target for quarterback Baker Mayfield. It's worth noting Evans has been quiet lately despite the high volume of targets. He hasn't exceeded 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 3. Despite that, fantasy managers should keep believing in Evans. He should be able to provide WR2 value for the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Evans Targeted 10 Times In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was banged up heading into this contest, but saw his normal usage on Sunday. Sadly, the Bucs' offensive line struggled which gave quarterback Baker Mayfield little time in the pocket. That being said, it was tough for the Bucs to get the deep ball going in this game. Evans hauled in four of his 10 targets for 49 yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. Despite the late of success in Week 6, the Bucs should continue going to Evans at a high rate going forward. That being said, Evans should be considered a WR2 for the Week 7 contest against the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Evans A Full-Go For Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is a full-go for the Week 6 game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Evans missed practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, setting him up to play without restrictions this weekend. The veteran pass-catcher tweaked his hamstring in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints but had last week's bye to heal up. He caught just three passes for 40 yards in the last game due to the hammy injury, but Evans had three straight games with a touchdown to begin the year and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups as quarterback Baker Mayfield's favorite target in 2023.

Mike Evans Returns To Practice In Week 6

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Evans tweaked his hamstring in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints and had last week's bye to rest up, but he's apparently still dealing with the injury and isn't a lock to play in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. The most important day of practice will be on Friday, so if Evans is able to put in a full practice, he'll have a good chance of playing this Sunday. The 30-year-old has outperformed expectations to this point with quarterback Baker Mayfield running the offense. If he's active, Evans shouldn't be on your bench. If he doesn't gain clearance to suit up, Chris Godwin, rookie Trey Palmer and Deven Thompkins would likely start in three-receiver sets.

Mike Evans Still Absent At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday. However, head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that the important day for Evans would be on Friday to see what he's able to do running during the last practice before the Week 6 home game on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Evans tweaked his hamstring in Week 4 and had last week's bye to rest, but he's still no lock to play this weekend against Detroit. Seeing him back on the practice field on Friday would be more reassuring, but the 30-year-old pass-catcher is probably going to be questionable going into Sunday's game. Tampa doesn't play until the later slate of games that day, too, which will make Evans an even riskier lineup choice for Week 6. If Evans doesn't play, Chris Godwin, Trey Palmer and Deven Thompkins would all have bigger roles in the passing attack.

Mike Evans Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not what fantasy managers want to see from Evans coming off a bye week after he was injured in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. Evans still has a couple more days to get on the practice field, though, to give him a chance to play in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. The 30-year-old four-time Pro Bowler has had a strong start to the year with Baker Mayfield as his quarterback with 20 receptions on 31 targets for 337 yards and three touchdowns in four games. If Evans is unable to gain clearance to play against Houston, rookie Trey Palmer and Deven Thompkins would likely start in three-wide sets next to Chris Godwin.

Mike Evans Undergoing MRI Exam

The belief is that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is dealing with a mild hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints, according to sources. It bodes well for his return following the team's Week 5 bye, but he'll undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday to confirm it. Evans left the game in the second quarter on Sunday and never returned, finishing with three catches for 40 yards in the win. The 30-year-old was seen riding a stationary bike on the sidelines and was trying to return, but Tampa held him out as a precaution. The bye week comes at a perfect time for Evans and his fantasy managers, as he should be back out there in Week 6 against the visiting Detroit Lions on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) may not miss any time with what is believed to be a minor hamstring injury. The 30-year-old departed the game against New Orleans in the second quarter after snagging three catches for 40 yards. The Buccaneers are on bye in Week 5 which gives Evans more time to heal. They'll face the Detroit Lions in Week 6. If he is still unable to play two weeks from now, Chris Godwin will play the role of No. 1 wide receiver.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, wide receiver Mike Evans and the Bucs were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension. The wideout imposed a deadline for both sides to come to terms on a new deal. However, it didn't happen, so this could mark his final year in Tampa Bay. Evans is the highest-producing receiver in team history, amassing 683 catches for 10,425 yards and 81 touchdowns in 137 regular-season games. He's also a multi-time Pro Bowler and one-time Super Bowl champion. That said, Evans should draw plenty of interest as a free agent in 2024-25, assuming Tampa no longer wants him around.
