The Perception: Whenever a intelligence arises close the 2014 supremely talented broad receiver draft class, Mike Evans remains a constant inward those conversations every bit i of the best to come upwards out that year. Entering his 5th flavor inward the NFL, Evans has seen a fantastic bird of success alongside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which forced the squad to vantage together with secure his services beyond his rookie term 5th twelvemonth option, locking Evans upwards for an additional v seasons to the melody of 82.5 meg dollars alongside 55 meg of that existence fully guaranteed. Upon signing his novel lucrative contract, non i negative perception came to run yesteryear from media circles suggesting the coin together with term wasn’t on par to what Evans has produced on the field, together with nosotros fully agree.
Mike Evans from twenty-four lx minutes current i donning the Tampa red, has proven his worth together with continues to improve his arts and crafts fifty-fifty every bit the Buccaneers care to uncovering a solidified identity behind their franchise quarterback Jameis Winston. Mike Evans began his career alongside a quarterback tandem of Josh McCown together with Mike Glennon throwing him the ball, which yet equated to bully rookie success seeing over one m yards receiving together with a whopping 12 touchdowns on the twelvemonth - hence edifice the perceptions that Mike was a truthful divergence maker at the position. While the Bucs realized they required a heavy upgrade at the quarterback seat the next offseason, they drafted Jameis Winston (2015) to hopefully commence a procedure that would instill improve execution resulting inward victories on a regular basis. Mike Evans did inward fact reckon an uptick inward his statistics inward the 2015 flavor alongside Winston, which provided farther acceptance that the Tampa Bay rebuild was offset to accept shape. Continuing to reckon statistical success the next flavor (2016), Mike Evans striking novel career highs inward receptions (96) together with yardage (1321) piece matching his previous high inward touchdown receptions (12) final a banner year.
Completing his firstly 3 seasons, everything appeared on the up-and-up regarding statistical success, exactly overall didn’t interpret inward the win column for the Bucs every bit a whole. In reviewing in conclusion seasons tallies for Evans together with the Buccaneers, Evans saw something of a regression from what was becoming the constant whenever he completed a total campaign. Injuries haven’t been an number hence far inward Mike’s 4 years completed, which has seen him alone missy 3 contests over those 4 years. The Tampa Bay law-breaking seemed out of sorts in conclusion flavor along alongside 3 missed games from their starting pin (Winston), which led to Evans narrowly achieving his 4th at i time 1000-yard season. Like whatever receiver inward the NFL, the reliance on top notch quarterback play is evident for personal achievement which wasn’t necessarily the illustration for Evans together with the residue of the Bucs receiving core. Even still, alongside the lack of squad progression, Mike Evans remains a topflight producer inward the league together with nosotros reckon null on the horizon that would contradict that statement.
The Reality:
As nosotros motility into the 2018 season, Tampa Bay was striking alongside an unfortunate province of affairs that saw Jameis Winston suspended for the firstly 3 contests for violating the NFL’s personal deport policy potentially derailing the start of the Bucs novel campaign. Essentially, to start the season, long fourth dimension NFL dorsum upwards together with journeymen Ryan Fitzpatrick volition live on nether midpoint inward Winston’s absence which could live on a hard project to gain much traction inward price of victories together with heavy statistical performances. The positives alongside Fitzpatrick offset the flavor every bit the starting quarterback is that historically, he targets his top receivers alongside high regularity having the most confidence inward his top producing playmakers. If this comes to fruition, the potential for Mike Evans to generate a multitude of targets together with receptions could live on extremely high inward those firstly 3 weeks of the season.
Evans has an interesting resume inward price of patterns when it comes to his touchdown productivity together with efficiency throughout his brusk NFL career. While his grab percentages get got remained relatively consistent hovering roughly the 50%-55% marks, the touchdowns get got striking a ceiling of 12 ii times inward his career which were achieved inward seasons i together with three. Seeing drop-offs inward scores inward years ii together with 4 pose to live on somewhat of a conundrum to appropriately evaluate the reasons for these drawbacks. At this betoken the blueprint would propose that Evans is due for some other rebound inward generating high amounts of touchdowns coming off a flavor which saw alone v endzone trips for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The interesting aspect when assessing what the Bucs could snuff it this flavor starts alongside the roster, together with if the potential of the talent assembled finally finds levels that meets expectations. The supporting cast of receivers together with tight ends inward their 2nd flavor together should allow for improve dynamics inward play calling together with execution alongside gained familiarity. While DeSean Jackson has been receiving negative attending hence far inward camp, Chris Godwin is starting to pickup steam which could potentially gain him a starting location alongside D-Jax playing to a greater extent than of a supportive role, which could opened upwards Evans upwards to to a greater extent than unmarried coverage's down the field. We believe the aspect of this law-breaking that requires a massive uptick inward production is the run game which could live on rectified alongside rookie Ronald Jones together with Peyton Barber creating a formidable one-two punch that opposing defenses volition fear. This volition of class volition get got to live on proven on the field, which could assistance the play activeness pass, farther creating mismatches downwardly the champaign for Mike Evans to run free.
The Outlook:
We at ADF get got been bully supporters of Mike Evans since he entered the league together with haven’t seen much to ascertain an sentiment that he won’t instruct dorsum on rails alongside top-end numbers this flavor to challenger the best inward the business. Even alongside their backup quarterback (Fitzpatrick) tossing darts for the firstly few weeks shouldn’t disrupt Evans overall game exactly maybe the outlook for the squad inward general. Mike’s averages sit down real favorably alongside 77.2 receptions going for a well for you lot 1144.7 yards together with 8 touchdowns over the class of his 4 seasons played. Its non out of the inquiry to reckon Mike instruct reacquainted alongside a bully friend (the endzone) to levels we’ve grown accustomed besides inward the past. As the Buccaneers maintain the path forwards to becoming a lineament unit of measurement all around, its no inquiry the Mike Evans volition live on the obvious go-to target to assist this prepare maintain chugging.
From the fantasy football game perceptive, Mike Evans has done a marvellous chore rewarding his owners alongside week-in-week-out production to garner a roster location every flavor alongside a high draft pick cost tag. As mentioned above, in conclusion twelvemonth was a let-down inward price of generating top-end points every bit Mike completed the flavor ranked every bit the 17th best receiver generating 203.1 points inward PPR (Point Per Reception) formats, giving him a weaker than normal 13.5 points per game. While the fantasy community e'er becomes reactive to seasons such every bit these, residue assured, this is where nosotros preach together with endorse players similar Evans alongside bully enthusiasm based on where he could live on selected inward upcoming drafts. As of today, Evans holds an ADP (Average Draft Position) sitting at 23 alongside a worst existence seen roughly the 40’s. The value which could live on had when selecting Mike at the backend of the 2nd round, all the means into the 3rd round, volition get got fantasy owners jumping for joy throughout the season. Finding a WR1 this belatedly inward drafts volition furnish you lot the mightiness to stack your running backs inward the firstly ii rounds together with potentially sitting pretty to score; 80-85 receptions going for 1100-1350 yards together with securing 10-13 touchdowns. If you lot tin gain Mike Evans services inward the 3rd circular this year, emphatically striking the choose push together with express joy all the means to the bank.
