Mike Evans continues his Hall of Fame career by producing thousand-yard season after thousand-yard season. And while he hasn't surpassed 80 receptions since 2018, his double-digit TDs in four of his last five seasons (57 total during that stretch) have made him a foundational piece for any fantasy team. Such consistency makes him an alluring option, but one of these years his production will fall off the table. Will it be this season?
Evans will share targets with Chris Godwin and newcomer Emeka Ebugka, in addition to RB Bucky Irving. It helps that the Bucs had the 10th-most pass attempts last season, so there should be enough to go around.
At this stage of a great player's career, we should start looking for any signs of decline. In Evans' case, perhaps we can point to his 13.6 yards per reception in 2024 being the lowest of his career. Or that he played in the fewest games (14) since 2019. To be sure, those are hair-splitting analyses in an attempt to find fault with Evans. But the fact remains -- Evans is a top-level fantasy receiver and he puts your team in a nice position if you can secure him as your WR2.

 Chris Godwin unlikely to play until October
Will avoid PUP list to start the season
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 21, 9:04 am
|  | Sources: Buccaneers plan to activate WR Chris Godwin off the Physically Unable to Perform list and have him on their 53-man roster to start the season, but only to begin his ramp-up process for games, not to immediately play in them. Godwin still is unlikely to play until October as he continues recovering from the fractured ankle he suffered in Week 7 vs. the Ravens last season. He is expected to start practicing in Week 2, but the team thinks he is right where he should be at this time and is pleased with his recovery. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Good to an update on the Godwin situation. Week 5 against the Seahawks seems like the game to target for his return. How long it takes him to get up to full speed will be a different story. In the meantime, expect rookie Emeka Egbuka to occupy a starting spot opposite Mike Evans. Egbuka's ADP (WR37, half-PPR) will continue to rise as we get set for a big draft weekend.
| Jalen McMillan likely to miss half of the season
Suffered "severely sprained neck" in Week 2 preseason game
By: Doug Orth | Tue Aug 19, 3:20 pm
| | Jalen McMillan will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a “severely sprained neck,” against the Steelers and could be out past the Bucs Week 9 bye week, the Times has learned. Team still feels fortunate the injury wasn’t worse and have depth at WR starting with Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka. Chris Godwin will eventually return from a dislocated ankle. But tough news for McMillan. (Tampa Bay Times - Rick Stroud)
FFToday's Take: As bad as this news is, McMillan was inches away from suffering a much worse injury. With Chris Godwin (ankle) still not practicing, the path is clear for Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka to carry the bulk of the passing game through at least September. While McMillan's absence may free up another receiver to contribute (Sterling Shepard?), expect Cade Otton to see a few more targets than he would have received otherwise.
| Emeka Egbuka the talk of training camp
QB and GM thrilled with rookie's readiness
By: Doug Orth | Mon Aug 4, 5:00 pm
| | The Bucs surprised many when they used the No. 19 pick in April to select WR Emeka Egbuka. They'd just re-signed Chris Godwin to a three-year contract, they still have veteran Mike Evans playing well and their 2024 third-round pick, Jalen McMillan, caught seven touchdown passes in their final five games of the season. Some wondered if the Egbuka pick meant they were worried about Godwin's recovery from his season-ending ankle injury. But again, they just gave Godwin a three-year deal, so they couldn't be that worried. My takeaway from my time in Tampa is that the Egbuka pick wasn't about Godwin as much as it's about Evans, who turns 32 later this month and has reached the point of his career when he's deciding year-to-year how long he wants to continue. It was also about the need for depth at that position. But more than anything, it was about Egbuka, who is the talk of training camp. (ESPN.com - Dan Graziano)
FFToday's Take: Graziano goes on to say that while the Bucs aren't counting out Godwin for Week 1, they believe there's a chance he could miss a couple of games at the start of the season. He also expects Egbuka to be a big part of things for whatever time Godwin is out, and maybe even once he's back. Godwin appears to be a total wild card at this point, if only because he will need some time to ramp up and become a full-time player, and that's only if he doesn't have a setback. Egbuka is not a player fantasy managers should feel obligated to reach for (at least not yet), but he should be going much higher than his current Round 9-10 ADP.
