Mike Evans Week 3 Outlook - Broncos at Buccaneers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Sep 18th 2024, 11:19pm EDT

Mike Evans has an interesting Week 3 matchup against Patrick Surtain and the Denver Broncos. Surtain has been credited for quiet outings from DK Metcalf and George Pickens, each of whom posted weekly WR63 finishes against the Broncos. However, Surtain has graded out quite poorly in Pro Football Focus' coverage metric. His 37.0 coverage grade is second-lowest among 77 cornerbacks who have played at least 50 percent of coverage snaps. Evans has 15 touchdown receptions over his last 19 regular season games. The likelihood of Evans scoring keeps him in the WR1 conversation.
