3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans looked leaner heading into minicamp back in June, and he made a toe-tap catch look effortless. It helped that the Tom Brady pass was placed perfectly before the sideline, but Evans made it look like an everyday routine play. It's another reminder that Brady and Evans have developed some really nice chemistry after playing one season together and winning the Super Bowl. Even a leaned-out Evans (6-foot-5, 231 pounds) should be one of the bigger wideouts in the NFL, helping him win contested catches more often than not. The 27-year-old produced his seventh-straight 1,000-yard season on a career-low 109 targets in 2020, but he managed to find the end zone a career-high 13 times. He's scored at least eight touchdowns in five of his seven seasons in the NFL. Evans is one of Brady's favorite red-zone weapons and has been extremely consistent in his career, but because of all the mouths to feed in an offense that will return everyone -- plus Antonio Brown for a full season -- he's unlikely to see enough targets to constitute a WR1 price. Evans is currently being drafted as the 14th wideout off the board behind the likes of Terry McLaurin, Allen Robinson II and CeeDee Lamb. He finished as a low-end WR1 last year (11th overall) in PPR scoring, and that's with his career-high 13 trips to paydirt.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
