If you glanced at the box score after the Buccaneers’ tilt with the Saints on Sunday, you likely figured Evans had sat out another week to rest his ailing hamstring. He didn’t.
Evans played on two-thirds of snaps in his 2015 debut on Sunday, yet saw only a few targets and failed to reel in any of them. It was a strong showing for the Buccaneers overall, with Jameis Winston playing much better andDoug Martin proving solid in the run game, but Evans was far from the focal point of the offense and seemed to lack any chemistry at all with Winston.
Owners who drafted Evans to be their WR1 likely aren’t too happy that their star WR has amassed exactly zero fantasy points two weeks into the season. Those who played him last week, which is nearly everyone, are probably a little angry too. That presents an excellent buy opportunity. Evans is simply too talented not to be an integral part of the Bucs’ passing game, and should become just that sooner rather than later.
