Mike Evans

Mike Evans has finished no lower than WR13 in fantasy points per game over the last four years, and he didn't show any signs of slowing down last year. While he has dealt with hamstring issues in each of the last three years, he has never played less than 14 games in any season. Last year, Evans ranked 23rd in target share, fifth in yards per route run, 16th in receiving yards per game, fourth in route win rate, and second in separation (per Fantasy Points Data). Evans is primed to produce as a WR1 again in 2025.

Mike Evans caught eight passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 48-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He consistently found openings in the Panthers’ secondary, with his touchdowns coming on precision throws from Baker Mayfield, who tossed five scores in the game. Evans’ big day helped fuel the Buccaneers’ 551-yard offensive explosion and kept the team in the NFC South title hunt.

Fantasy Impact

Evans continues to show why he’s a cornerstone of fantasy lineups, delivering yet another multi-touchdown performance. With 11 touchdowns on the season, he’s proven to be an elite red-zone target for Baker Mayfield. His volume and consistency, even as the Buccaneers' offense has evolved, make him a WR1 in all formats.
