Evans secured three-of-five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-31 victory over the Jaguars.
It was a relatively quiet day for Evans, who is still looking for the first true breakout performance of his sophomore campaign. The Bucs experienced a prolific day on the ground in Week 5, and Jameis Winston therefore only put the ball in the air a total of 19 times, somewhat limiting Evans' opportunities despite what was a high-scoring affair. Evans will look to exploit the Redskins' vulnerable secondary when Tampa travels to Washington in Week 7 following their bye.
Tue Oct 6 201523:03Evans on field for 73 offensive plays in Week 4 against Panthers
Evans was on the field for 73 offensive plays in Week 4 against the Panthers, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
It was Vincent Jackson's turn to play target monster in Week 4, although Evans still saw eight balls come his direction after a Week 3 in which he received a whopping 17 looks. Evans was partially hampered by the blanket coverage of Josh Norman on certain plays against Carolina, but with the amount of time he's spent running routes the last two weeks, he clearly appears to have put his hamstring problems behind him.

Evans secured three of his eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Panthers.
Evans had his second quiet day in the three weeks that he's been active this season. In the case of Week 4, standout Panthers corner Josh Norman played a large role in the muted performance, providing suffocating coverage. Evans clearly has too much talent to be shut down consistently, and will look to rebound against the Jaguars' questionable secondary in Week 5.
Tue Sep 29 201519:06Evans logged 51 snaps on offense in Week 3 against Texans
Evans logged 51 snaps on offense in Week 3 against the Texans, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After a Week 2 in which he failed to show up on the stat sheet despite logging 40 plays on offense, Evans was to be off his "pitch count" in Week 3. While the lifting of restrictions only resulted in an additional 11 snaps, Evans saw 14 more targets than he had against the Saints, and was able to haul in his first seven receptions of the season. The second-year wideout's hamstring appeared to be a nonissue, with Evans making catches of 16, 18 and 20 yards down the field. Evans should certainly receive a full workload again in Week 4 against the Panthers, and may very well be Jameis Winston's favorite target on most weeks, as he was versus Houston.

Evans was targeted a whopping 17 times in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Texans, securing seven of them for 101 yards.
Evans figured to be focal point of the game plan in Week 3 after being shut out of the stat sheet against the Saints, and Jameis Winston did in fact hone in on the second-year standout receiver throughout the game. Winston's accuracy was spotty Sunday--a factor in Evans securing only 41 percent of those targets--but the intensive degree of attention he received from his quarterback is certainly a welcome sign for fantasy owners. Another encouraging aspect of Evans' performance was his ability to haul in passes down the field, as his 14.4 yards-per- catch metric and receptions of 18 and 20 yards attest. Evans will look to continue the momentum generated by Sunday's productive outing in the Bucs' Week 4 home tilt against the Panthers.
Sun Sep 27 201511:46Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Active Sunday
Evans (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at Houston, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
After putting in full practices all week, Evans should be at full strength for the first time this season, though his production could be dependent on Jameis Winston's ability to handle J.J. Watt and company. In addition, Panthers wideouts tallied two touchdowns against the Texans last Sunday, meaning Evans' value may rest in his ability to reach the end zone.
Fri Sep 25 201515:42Evans (hamstring) probable for Sunday's game against Texans
Evans (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Texans, FOX Sports 1's Jenna Laine reports.
Evans should be ready for a full workload, after logging full practices throughout the week. He was held catchless in his 2015 debut, but he only played 61 percent of the offensive snaps, whereas he often played more than 90 percent of the snaps last season.
Thu Sep 24 201522:27Evans full participant for second consecutive day Thursday
Evans was a full participant for a second consecutive day Thursday, a href= "Joe Kania of the team's official website reports..
Evans continues to stay on track for a much more extensive role in Week 3 against the Texans. He turned in only one full practice leading up to Week 2, that being the Friday walkthrough, so his unrestricted participation on both of the heavy workload practice days this week is a tangible sign of progress. With emerging tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins on the shelf for the next several weeks, Evans figures to see an even greater number of targets than he already would.
Wed Sep 23 201517:27Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Practices Fully Wednesday
Evans (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.
Evans made his season debut in Week 2, emerging without a catch on three targets, but he surpassed his allotted snap count of 25 by 15, which equated to 61 percent of the offensive snaps. Regarding his workload this Sunday in Houston, he said Wednesday that he won't be constrained by a "pitch count," according to the Tampa Tribune. If that comes to fruition, he's up against a Texans secondary that's allowed just 11.8 YPC and two touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season.

Evans did not record a catch on three targets in Sunday's 26-19 victory over the Saints.
The second-year pro's 2015 debut was far from ideal, but it does not appear that Evans suffered any setbacks with the hamstring that previously ailed him. Naturally, Evans is expected to be an integral part of the Bucs' offensive attack and Jameis Winston's development throughout 2015, and today's outcome was clearly an aberration. Evans will look to put his rocky start to the 2015 season behind him in Week 3 against the Texans.

Though Evans (hamstring) is active for Week 2, he will be on a "pitch-count," Fox's Jay Glazer.
Evans will likely still get a good share of targets against the Saints' undermanned secondary, but it won't be his usual full load.
Sun Sep 20 201511:40Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Active Sunday
Evans (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Evans' season debut couldn't have come at a better time with a banged-up New Orleans secondary on tap. In his sole matchup against the Saints last year, he hauled in five of six targets for 54 yards and one touchdown to culminate a fantastic rookie campaign.
Sun Sep 20 201506:06Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Expected To Play Sunday
Evans (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Making his season debut, Evans will substantiate his claim that his hamstring is 100 percent. Rookie signal caller Jameis Winston will have a full arsenal at his disposal against a beleaguered Saints secondary that was torched in Week 1 by the Cardinals -- 307 passing yards and three touchdowns -- which bodes well for Evans' prospects.

Evans (hamstring) will likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's game in New Orleans, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Evans said Thursday that he's 100 percent healthy, and he reportedly looked fine at Friday's walkthrough practice. However, the final decision will be made by Bucs head coach Lovie Smith, who still wants to see how Evans feels Saturday. If Evans is held out again, Louis Murphy will likely get another start across from Vincent Jackson.
Fri Sep 18 201512:22Evans (hamstring) taking part in Friday's practice
Evans (hamstring) is taking part in Friday's practice, Pat Yasinskas of ESPN reports.
Evans worked on a limited basis Thursday as he continues to nurse a sore hamstring, which kept him out of Tampa's Week 1 loss to the Titans. While Evans, himself, said the hamstring is "100 percent," coach Lovie Smith said earlier in the week that a final call may not come until Saturday or Sunday, so Evans could be a true game-time decision. That said, his presence on the field Friday is certainly an encouraging sign.
Thu Sep 17 201517:08Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Again Limited Thursday
Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of Sports Talk 1040 reports.
Evans will continue logging time in practice to conclude this week, according to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, but a limited showing Friday is likely his best-case scenario. Head coach Lovie Smith told Evans that a decision on the wide receiver's availability will depend on how Evans feels Saturday, which implies that he could be subject to a game-time call Sunday in New Orleans. For his part, Evans believes that his hamstring is "100 percent," but players tend to overstate their level of health more often than not. As a result, owners should take a wait-and-see approach with the Buccaneers' No. 1 wideout.

Evans relayed Thursday that his hamstring is "100 percent," and he's hopeful the Buccaneers will allow him to suit up Sunday at New Orleans, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Evans has been turning in limited practices since his first last Friday, which could continue if head coach Lovie Smith opts for caution with the Bucs' No. 1 wideout. Upcoming practices Thursday and Friday should shed light on Evans' potential to play in Week 2, but he's clearly ready to do so in his mind.
Wed Sep 16 201518:50Mike Evans: (Hamstring) Limited Wednesday
Evans (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Jenna Laine of Sports Talk 1040 reports.
Evans began the week by repeating his limited showing from last Friday. Nonetheless, we'll get a better indication that he's nearing his season debut when he fits in a full practice, which is no guarantee by week's end. If that occurs, he'd be in line to play Sunday in New Orleans.
Wed Sep 16 201514:13Evans (hamstring) took part in Wednesday's practice
Evans (hamstring) took part in Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After fitting in a limited showing at drills to conclude last week, Evans was inactive Sunday against the Titans. While he's resumed practicing to kick off preparation for Week 2, his activity level will be one to watch in the coming days to get a sense of his ability to make his season debut.

Coach Lovie Smith is unsure of Evans' (hamstring) availability for Sunday's game against the Saints, Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune reports.
As Week 1's kickoff approached, Evans' status evolved from game-time decision to a spot on the team's inactive list, and at this early stage of the week, his status for the Bucs' second game remains cloudy.
