Mike Evans
2025 Season Outlooks
Evans should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, and he's worth drafting as early as Round 4. The positives for Evans are he just had another outstanding season in 2024 at 17.2 PPR points per game. It was his 11th season in a row with at least 1,000 receiving yards (1,004), and he scored double digits in touchdowns (11) for the sixth time in his career. The negatives are he turns 32 in August, and Tampa Bay has a crowded receiving corps with Chris Godwin back and the addition of first-round rookie Emeka Egbuka joining Jalen McMillan. It's hard to bet against Evans given his track record, but you shouldn't reach for him on draft day given his age and target competition.
Evans is back for his age-32 campaign having now put up 1,000-plus receiving yards in 11 straight seasons to begin his career. The future Hall of Famer missed three games in 2024, but still scored double-digit touchdowns for the fourth time in five seasons. Incredibly, Evans has never finished a season worse than 23rd in fantasy points (26th in PPG). Age aside, there are some concerns here, as Evans was very boom/bust in 2024, having posted six top-10 fantasy outings (second most), while also falling short of 12 points in seven of his other eight games. He also benefited massively from Chris Godwin's season-ending injury, averaging 6.3 targets and 13.6 fantasy PPG with him, but 9.1 targets and 20.7 PPG without. Despite the concerns, Evans hasn't shown signs of slowing down and has a good QB in Baker Mayfield. He's a fringe fantasy WR2.
