Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans has been underestimated throughout his entire pro career. All he's done is exceed expectations each and every campaign since being drafted by the Bucs.
Even after missing three games last season with a hamstring issue, Evans continued his record streak of 11 straight seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving.
This season, while many may be once again undervaluing his season at the age of 30, he's expected to excel in your fantasy football league.
Derek Brown of Fantasy Pros thinks Evans will once again surpass expectations in your fantasy league.
"Mike Evans has finished no lower than WR13 in fantasy points per game over the last four years, and he didn't show any signs of slowing down last year," Brown wrote. "While he has dealt with hamstring issues in each of the last three years, he has never played less than 14 games in any season. Last year, Evans ranked 23rd in target share, fifth in yards per route run, 16th in receiving yards per game, fourth in route win rate, and second in separation (per Fantasy Points Data). Evans is primed to produce as a WR1 again in 2025."
Evans has tallied at least 11 touchdowns in four of the past five years while finding the end zone 57 times during that period.
The former Texas A&M Aggies pass catcher has never caught less than 70 passes in a season and has been targeted at least 110 times in 10 of the last 11 years.
The last time he averaged less than 14 yards per catch was in 2016.
You can continue to underestimate Evans' value in your fantasy league, but it'll be your own fault if you don't draft him early.
