Mike Evans did miss some practice time this week, but is ready to go for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Washington Commanders. Evans was limited to begin the week before sitting out of practice both Thursday and Friday. DFS players shouldn't be concerned as Evans only sat out for rest purposes to keep him refreshed for this weekend. Evans has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since he returned from injury in Week 12. The 31-year-old has posted 11 straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards or more, which is extremely impressive. Evans has been one of the most consistent wideouts in the league and become a favorite target of quarterback
Baker Mayfield. He'll now get a favorable matchup against the Commanders secondary on Sunday. Evans won't be a cheap DFS option, but he should be worth the risk.

Mike Evans caught nine of his 14 targets for 89 yards during their victory over the New Orleans Saints. As a result, Evans posted his 11th-straight 1,000 yard season. Evans is the only player in NFL history to tally at least 1,000 yards in his first 10+ seasons. He now only sits three 1,000-yard campaigns behind Jerry Rice for the NFL record. The 31-year-old even missed three games this season due to a hamstring injury but was still able to continue his incredible streak. During Weeks 12 through 17, Evans averaged a strong 96.7 yards per game. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran wideout to remain
Baker Mayfield's top target during the playoffs. Evans should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all playoff competitions and would carry elite upside in DFS if the Buccaneers draw a favorable matchup in the Wild Card round.

Mike Evans will look to make history during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wideout needs 85 yards to tie Jerry Rice's record of 11 straight sessions with 1,000 receiving yards. In addition, Evans will earn a $3 million incentive if he hauls in at least five receptions and surpasses 85 yards. The Bucs have a must-win game ahead of them against a banged up Saints roster. Evans has surpassed the 85-yard mark in three of his last five games, which puts him in good position to hit this milestone. Regardless, Evans remains a solid WR1 for a plus-matchup against the Saints secondary in Week 18.

Mike Evans caught eight of his nine targets for 97 yards and two scores during their demanding victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Evans did most of his damage in the first half by scoring twice. He caught his first score on a two-yard pass in the opening frame and his second score on a one-yard pass in the second quarter. His longest reception of the day went for 34 yards. His receptions, targets, and yardage total paced all Tampa wideouts and only tied for the most receiving scores with rookie
Jalen McMillan. Since Week 13, Evans has found the end zone five times in five contests. During this stretch, he has tallied at least 90 yards in three of the five games. He will look to stay hot next weekend against a struggling New Orleans secondary.
