Mike Evans 2019 Outlook
As CBSSports.com suggested, Evans may have just finished his most complete season as a wide receiver -- and then the Buccaneers lost both DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries during the offseason. Evans caught 60 percent of his targets for the first time in his career and set a career best in yards per reception (17.7). He was just the third receiver in the past 10 years to average better than 11 yards per target (minimum 100 targets). But looking back, Evans’ role seems to have diminished somewhat in recent seasons. According to ESPN's Mike Clay, Evans averaged a target share of 26 percent as a rookie before bumping to 30 percent in 2015 and peaking at 31 percent in 2016. His usage has declined in recent seasons, with his share falling to 24 percent in 2017 and hitting a career low at 23 percent last season. Clay believes it's possible Evans' usage could bounce back under new HC Bruce Arians, but Arians already said he thinks fellow wideout Chris Godwin could push for 100 receptions, and that the team will need to find ways to feature O.J. Howard. But Clay added: "Evans is still one of the game's top 'big' receivers and has finished top-five in end-zone targets each of the past three seasons, so he remains a fringe WR1." Draft accordingly.
Mike Evans 2018 Outlook
Evans has been the focal point of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive identity ever since the team drafted him No. 7 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. From Day 1, Evans has ruled the team’s aerial attack: He's recorded over 1,000 yards receiving in each of his four seasons, and already stands at No. 3 in the franchise's record book for most all-time receiving yards by a Buccaneer. If health remains on his side, he'll find himself atop the list before the Bucs play their final game of this season. Besides the yards, Evans has plenty of other Buccaneer records under his belt in just four seasons of play -- and at just 24 years of age. Evans holds the franchise record for most receiving touchdowns in a season (12 -- twice), most receiving touchdowns by a rookie in a season (12), most consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons (4), and his current receiving yards per game average (75.4) is also best in Bucs’ history. Given all that, there's certainly no reason to believe Evans won't remain Jameis Winston's go-to-guy for the foreseeable future (although Winston will miss the first three games this year to suspension). So, even though Evans is coming off his "worst" season as a pro, fantasy owners shouldn't be running away; instead enjoy the discount that comes following a disappointing campaign.
Mike Evans 2017 Outlook
Evans has been a highly productive part of the Buccaneers' offense since he arrived in Tampa and has compiled 238 catches for 3,578 yards (posting well over 1,000 receiving yards each year) and 27 touchdowns over the 46 NFL games in his three-year career. In fact, Evans has more receiving yards in his first three NFL seasons than Jerry Rice did. In 2016, he was in the top 6 in yards (1,321), receptions (96) and touchdowns (tying his own club mark with 12 scoring catches) while continuing to establish himself as Jameis Winston's favorite target. As NFL.com put it, "The 6-5 wideout menaces defensive backs with his prototypical size and ball skills. ..." And now, with the off-season additions of DeSean Jackson, who will stretch defenses vertically, and rookie O.J. Howard, the draft's most talented TE, Tampa boasts playmakers at every level which will give Winston plenty of options in the passing game for a team that should contend for a playoff spot in 2017. All of which made it no surprise in April when the team exercised their fifth-year option on Evans' deal and made it clear a long-term extension will be coming. Fantasy owners can expect more of the same from Evans this season and beyond.
