Weekly Writeup
Evans may be limited coming back from his hamstring injury, but he may still be highly targeted with the lack of options for the Buccaneers. The Giants are bottom five in the NFL in yards per target to WRs. If Evans plays enough snaps, the volume will be there for WR1 potential.

Bottom Line

Evans has been the model of consistency over his NFL career with 10 straight 1,000-yard seasons.

He continued that consistency last season and will have Baker Mayfield throwing him the ball again in 2024. The Buccaneers did not add any significant veteran contributors and are expected to take a step back as they install a new offense yet again.

Entering the season at 31 years old, Evans is unlikely to hold his peak value but should be a solid WR2 to anchor a fantasy team.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Evans posted a season-long stat line of 79 catches for 1,255 yards and 13 on 136 targets.
  • He posted his 10th straight 1,000-yard season, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice.
  • His per-game numbers were in line with his career averages:
    • 8.00 targets (8.58)
    • 4.65 receptions (4.95)
    • 73.8 yards (75.8)
    • 0.76 TDs (0.61)
  • Evans ranked as the WR7 in PPR fantasy points and WR11 in points per game.
  • He missed no games due to injury.
  • Evans had seven top-12 finishes. He had four WR37 or worse finishes.
  • His target share (24.5%) was the highest of his career.
  • Among 89 WRs with 45+ targets, Evans ranked:
    • 16th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade
    • 11th in yards per route run (2.33)
    • 8th in average target depth (15.1)
    • 7th in percentage of team air yards (41.3%)

What to Expect in 2024

  • Evans enters his third season under HC Todd Bowles
  • New OC Liam Coen spent last year as the Kentucky OC after coordinating the Rams in 2022.
    • In 2022, the Rams ranked 24th with 531 pass attempts.
  • The Buccaneers are expected to take a slight step backward. They are tied for second in the NFC South with a 7.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Buccaneers have the 21st-highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +5500 on most sportsbooks, second-best in the division.
  • Evans enters his 10th season at 31 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average WR with Evan’s career produces at 90% of his peak value at age-31.

Mike Evans Questionable For Week 12

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but limited on Wednesday and Friday. We’re expecting Evans to play on Sunday, but it sounds like his snaps could be scaled back at least a little. “We’ll play him as long as he’s healthy and fresh and needs to be in there,” HC Todd Bowles said Friday. “But we’ll get him out when we have to.” Consider Evans a risk/reward WR2 in this plus matchup.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to play against the Giants this weekend, although OC Liam Coen said Thursday that he's not sure yet if Evans will be a full-go. "It’s just gonna be hard to tell … how much is he gonna be able to go, if he can go? I don’t know," Coen said. We'll look for further updates on Evans' status for this one. For now, he's shaping up as a risk/reward WR2 play.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is "planning to play" vs. the Giants this weekend, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Evans has been out since Week 7 but will be returning to a Chris Godwin-less WR corps. That gives Evans a chance to be big volume the rest of the way. He checks in 10th in our current Week 12 WR Rankings. We'll track his practice participation throughout the week and looks for any reports on Tampa's plans for his snaps in his first game back.
