Fantasy Football Wide Receivers – Number 10: Mike Evans

2015 Stats: 74 REC 1,206 YDS 3 TDS

The 6’ 5” Texas A&M star looks to improve on a third straight 1,000-yard season. Mike Evans needs to be more consistent catching the ball and he’ll be okay and definitely worth an early round pick in your draft.

He did lead the league last season with 11 drops, but perhaps you’ll be able to overlook that once he gets you tons of points.

Another defining factor for Evans was that he was limited to only three touchdowns last season. During his rookie year he came down with 12. Some reasoning for the fall off could come from Doug Martin’s crazed performance last season and the fact that he had a rookie quarterback throwing the ball to him.

No doubt Evans will have production this year no matter what and he’s definitely number one receiver material. Just keep your fingers crossed that Jameis Winston continues to play well, otherwise Evans’ season could go down the drain.
