Mike Evans's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was not seen on the field for the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Evans is shaping up to be a DNP for the second straight day this week, which is exactly what transpired last week before he returned to practice on Friday and played in the Week 14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 31-year-old future Hall of Famer ended up playing 85 percent of the team's offensive snaps last Sunday while catching four of his five targets for 69 yards. This week's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers' stingy defense is certainly less appealing from a fantasy perspective, but Evans should be active as long as he gets some practice in on Friday. Evans is averaging 12.3 half-PPR points in 10 games this year (tied for 16th among wideouts), so fantasy managers will want him in their starting lineups this weekend if he's active.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) didn't suit up for practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised by this news given Evans has been banged up this season. The absence of Evans could strictly be the Bucs just being cautious with their veteran wideout. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Evans missing Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Evans figures to suit up for this weekend as long as he can get through a practice at some point this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was fairly quiet during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran wideout hauled four of his five targets for 69 yards in the win. A majority of his production came on a 32-yard reception, which ended up being the second longest of the game for the Bucs. The good news for fantasy managers is that Evans has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in his first three games since returning from injury. Evans will head into a more difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers defense next week. Despite that, Evans should remain a WR1 for Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring, calf) was on the injury report this week, but says he'll play this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran wideout was limited during Friday's practice, but has now been cleared to play in Week 14. Evans is coming off arguably his best game of the season where he hauled in eight receptions for 118 yards and one score in the win over the Carolina Panthers. The expectation is that Evans is going to continue being the focal point in the passing game going forward. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to get Evans in their lineups ahead of this favorable matchup against the Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring/calf) returned to practice on Friday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. It's good news for Tampa and fantasy managers rostering Evans, who did not practice either Wednesday or Thursday. The veteran receiver has been excellent when healthy, and is coming off a dominant day against the Carolina Panthers in which he turned 12 targets into eight catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy managers will have to wait for the injury report to make sure Evans is good to go against Las Vegas in Week 14, but he's a No. 1 receiver when available.
