2024 Fantasy Outlook
There have been some close calls during Evans' 10-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons, but 2023 wasn't one of them. He had one of his best campaigns yet in the first year after Tom Brady's retirement, with his most targets (136), catches (79) and yards (1,255) since 2018 while falling just one TD shy of his career high (13 was still good enough to tie for the league lead). QB Baker Mayfield enjoyed a renaissance, and his solid work throwing downfield allowed Evans to land slightly north of his career averages for YPT (9.2), aDOT (14.0) and YPC (15.9) despite taking on more volume. The Bucs threw fewer passes than they had with Brady, but Evans' share of the targets skyrocketed to 24.5 percent after three straight years in the high teens. Tampa then managed to re-sign both Evans and Mayfield this offseason, though OC Dave Canales slipped away to become head coach of the Panthers. New coordinator Liam Coen said he plans to move Chris Godwin back to the slot -- which should correspond to a higher target rate -- but there's not much else around in terms of target competition after the Bucs used all their cap space to keep the gang together and settled for third-round pick Jalen McMillan as WR3 competition for Trey Palmer. And while the likelihood of TD regression has to be noted for any player that accounted for 13 of his team's 28 receiving scores, Evans has a lengthy track record of hitting paydirt (12.3 percent of his career receptions) from both distance and inside the red zone, Read Past Outlooks

Team-high yardage total in return
Evans brought in five of six targets for 68 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Evans finished with a team-high receiving yardage total while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout looked as healthy as he proclaimed he was coming into the game and contributed a 26-yard grab among his five catches. Evans, whose catch and yardage totals Sunday were his highest since Week 4, will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 13 road divisional battle.

Between two missed games and the fallout from Tom Brady's decline, Evans appeared in serious danger last December of losing his eight-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons. Then he ripped the Panthers for 207 yards and three TDs in Week 17, later sitting out Week 18, to finish the year with 1,124 yards in 15 games, i.e., his normal level of production. Evans will be tested again in his age-30 campaign, with the Bucs apparently letting Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask duke it out for the starting job. The winner of that less-than-stirring battle won't have the benefit of a top offensive line the way Brady did a few years back, but the receiving corps at least appears in good hands with Evans and Chris Godwin, though Russell Gage suffered a season-ending injury in training camp. Of course, all of that becomes problematic for Evans' fantasy prospects if he's dealing with solid target competition in an otherwise lackluster offense while moving a step slower than he did in his prime.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to start Sunday
Head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Evans, who's missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, will start Sunday against the Giants "as long as he's healthy and fresh," Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Evans' three-game absence tied for the longest of his career, and he's also had the Week 11 bye to work on his conditioning. Evans said Friday he wasn't worried about aggravating the injury after sandwiching a pair of limited practices around a full Thursday session this past week. "No, this week definitely built my confidence, and last week, going through all the conditioning I had to do," Evans said. "I feel really good."
