2022 Fantasy Outlook
The first two years of the Tom Brady era in Tampa Bay brought the two lowest target totals of
Evans' career, with the 6-5 wideout barely getting over the century mark after averaging 139.2 in his first six NFL seasons. Fortunately, he's also finished with his two highest TD totals (13, 14)
as well as career highs for catch rate in back-to-back years (64.2 and 64.9 percent, after
reaching 60 percent just once in six seasons previously). Evans even managed to extend his
1,000-yard streak to eight in a row, though it came down to the wire both years with Brady. For
2022, there is some hope for Evans to combine his pre-Brady volume with his Brady-era
efficiency, especially if fellow star wideout Chris Godwin has issues coming back from a late-
season ACL tear. Godwin signed a three-year, $60 million contract in March, a few days before
the Bucs poached Russell Gage from Atlanta for the No. 3 receiver role (and they later added Julio Jones). In other words, there
are still plenty of mouths to feed, but Evans offers a comfortable floor without too much sacrifice
in terms of ceiling. Read Past Outlooks

Solid numbers in season-ending loss
Evans brought in six of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He also caught a two-point conversion.
ANALYSIS
Evans finished third in receptions and tied for second in receiving yards and targets on the night for the Buccaneers, a solid finish to an up-and-down season. He finished the regular campaign with 77 receptions for 1,124 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games, with half of his scores coming in a Week 17 win over the Panthers that locked up an NFC South title for the Bucs. While Evans, who'll be 30 when next season begins, has a cap hit of just under $24 million for 2023, he'd also carry a dead cap hit of over $21 million if released. As a result he's expected to once again play a key role for Tampa Bay, although Tom Brady's NFL future remains an unknown as the offseason begins.

Rashee Rice isn't the only Chiefs wide receiver moving up draft boards this May. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are slipping with WRs becoming more popular in the early rounds.

Jerry Donabedian compares May ADP results from four different best ball sites and finds that young WRs tend to be cheapest on DraftKings.

Jerry Donabedian hands out awards, checks in on offseason injury rehabs and looks ahead to a weak class of WR free agents

Superstars did most of the heavy lifting for the wild-card winners, but there were also some lesser-known heroes like Isaiah Hodgins and Khalil Shakir.

Like Chris Godwin, Evans is a No. 1-quality wide receiver getting No. 2 volume, thanks to all the mouths to feed in the Buccaneers offense. Despite seeing only 109 targets (T-25th), Evans scored 13 touchdowns (4th), averaged 9.2 YPT (10th) and caught 20 passes of 20 or more yards (T-5th). At 6-5, 231, Evans is too big for most cornerbacks, and his 4.53 speed is enough for him to create the moderate amount of separation he needs. Quarterback Tom Brady also took advantage of his size in the red zone — Evans’ 14 targets from inside the 10 and eight targets from inside the five were second only to Davante Adams’ totals. But Evans will again perform on a crowded stage, with the Bucs using their franchise tag on Godwin, re-signing Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown and even bringing back O.J. Howard and Scotty Miller off the bench. Tampa Bay will be a fun team to watch, but it’s unlikely any receiver gets his desired target share.
