Mike Evans Week 12 Outlook - Buccaneers at Giants

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Nov 21st 2024, 8:46am EST

Mike Evans is scheduled to return to the lineup for the first time since aggravating a hamstring injury early in Week 7. A lack of volume seemed to be Evans' biggest issue early in the year, as he was often a touchdown-dependent starter. But Evans will return to a team that is now without Chris Godwin for the season. That could enable Evans to see more targets going forward, boosting his fantasy value. His Week 12 prospects are favorable facing a New York Giants defense that ranks 31st in DVOA versus number-one wideouts this year. Provided no setbacks, fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting Evans this week despite the layoff.
