2025 Fantasy Outlook
Evans was scooped up by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after posting 421 yards and three TDs in 16 games for Notre Dame in 2024. That production was disappointing considering he needed only eight games to rack up 422 yards in 2023. Carolina’s an intriguing landing spot for the 6-foot-5, 253-pound TE given the team’s lack of established talent at the position, though 2024 fourth-round pick Ja’Tavion Sanders has more pass catching upside than Evans, and Tommy Tremble’s a better blocker. Evans doesn’t have any glaring holes in his game, which could help him earn a role on offense out of the gate, but separating from NFL defenders will be tough with his underwhelming 4.72 speed.

Signed a four-year, $4.59 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
One catch vs. Seattle
Evans caught one of two targets for five yards and rushed once for one yard during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Evans led the Panthers' tight end room in targets for the second consecutive game during Sunday's loss, but it didn't translate to production. The rookie from Notre Dame has now caught 18 of 23 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns while appearing in all 16 of Carolina's games this season. He could be in line for more receiving work in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers, as Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) is sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fourth-round pick in Reuter's mock
Chad Reuter of NFL.com's mock draft 2.0 has Evans going to the Vikings in the fourth round.
ANALYSIS
Evans had 422 receiving yards in eight games for Notre Dame in 2023, then just 421 yards in 16 games in 2024, though he increased his touchdown total from one to three. If Evans goes to Minnesota, he would project to occupy a backup role behind T.J. Hockenson.
