Mike Evans Week 5 Outlook - Buccaneers at Falcons

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 3:56am EDT

Mike Evans finally received the type of usage last week that fantasy managers had been clamoring for. After being targeted just 15 times through Tampa's first three games, Evans saw 14 targets last week. He parlayed that into a WR6 weekly finish. Evans has lacked the weekly consistency of his teammate, Chris Godwin. But Evans possesses touchdown upside that is not easy to come across at the wide receiver position. That makes it difficult to consider benching Evans under most conditions. Even though Godwin should face the better individual matchup in the slot, Evans is still a worthy WR1 candidate this week.
