Mike Evans Week 17 Outlook - Buccaneers at Dolphins

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Wed, Dec 24th 2025, 6:29pm EST

Evans' return to this offense has been seamless as Cinderella and the glass slipper. In each of his two games back, he has paced the team in targets. Coming through with six receptions for 132 yards in Week 15, and five receptions for 31 yards and a score in Week 16, he is firmly back in the fantasy WR1 range. With two huge games to close out the season and potentially sneak into the playoffs, Evans and Baker Mayfield will need to be clicking. This week, they take on the Dolphins, who let Joe Burrow and the Bengals hang up 45 points last week. Evans is primed for another good fantasy week and should be able to come through even if this defense shuts down Quinn Ewers and company.
