Evans failed to bring in any of his three targets in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans suffered the indignity of an empty stat line for only the second time in his career, a shocking development given his talent, his usually ample target share and the fact he'd even come into the game tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns. The 26-year-old had been enjoying a typically solid season prior to Sunday, but the matchup against Marshon Lattimore is one that Evans has had issues with in the past. Consequently, Evans will look to bounce back in another difficult assignment versus James Bradberry and the Panthers in Week 6 across the pond in London.

Evans secured four of seven targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans got loose for a long touchdown for the second straight week, recording a 67-yard scoring reception early in the fourth quarter to quickly answer a Rams touchdown that had brought Los Angeles within 11 points. As reported by Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, Evans had to leave the game temporarily in the second half to have his right wrist X-rayed, but he ultimately returned and did not seem to have any further issues. Chris Godwin has clearly ascended to at least the 1-A option at receiver, but as Evans demonstrated Sunday, he's still highly capable of providing big plays in his own right. He'll look to add to the four touchdowns he's accumulated over that last pair of contests when the Buccaneers face off with the Saints in a Week 5 divisional clash.

Evans caught eight of 15 targets for 190 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was a one-man wrecking crew in the first half, catching three touchdown passes to help his team to an 18-point lead at the break. He added a season-long reception of 55 yards as well, finishing with the best yardage output since his rookie year. This is exactly what fantasy owners wanted to see from Evans, who totaled just 89 receiving yards on six catches through his first two games. He'll look to pick up where he left off next Sunday on the road against the Rams.

Evans (illness) brought in four of eight targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-14 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans did manage to bump up his numbers from his lackluster 2-28 Week 1 line, but he still had a pedestrian catch rate and also failed to haul in a catchable first-half would-be touchdown. The Buccaneers' presumptive No. 1 receiver has had a bit of a ragged start to this 2019 campaign, and an illness that plagued him leading up to the opener likely had a role in his underwhelming numbers against the 49ers. Evans has been out-targeted by fellow wideout Chris Godwin by a 15-13 margin over the first pair of contests, but he'll look to put together his first breakout effort of the season at the expense of the Giants in a Week 3 matchup a week from Sunday.

Evans is active for Thursday's game at Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans picked up an illness just days before the Buccaneers' season-opening loss to the 49ers. The development clearly played a role in his 2-28-0 line on five targets, but he still managed to play 59 of 69 offensive snaps (86 percent). Evans is used to taking on such a heavy workload, so with the issue further in the rearview mirror, he should look more like the receiver that posted 1,000-plus yards in each of his first five pro campaigns.

Evans, who entered the day with a questionable tag due to illness, brought in two of five targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Not only was Evans' final line a significant disappointment, but Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports the ailing receiver took himself out of the game on multiple occasions in the first half alone due to his health issues. The Pro Bowl wideout looked anything but against some stingy coverage from Richard Sherman, which likely only exacerbated whatever residual illness he was still dealing with. Jameis Winston's generally poor play was more or less the proverbial final nail in the coffin for Evans on Sunday, but the big wideout will have an immediate opportunity to bounce back in a Week 2 battle against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Evans (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 1 tilt against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans' status for Sunday's opener was never overly in doubt, but it's still naturally good to confirm he'll be available in his usual capacity for what could be a high-scoring affair.

Evans (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is slated to play in the contest, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

Evans had been tending to quadriceps and groin injuries coming out of the preseason, but he shook off both issues to turn in full practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. However, the illness prevented him from taking the field Friday for the Bucs' final practice, resulting in him carrying a questionable tag into the weekend. The wideout has apparently progressed well following Saturday's off day, so the expectation is that he'll handle a normal snap count in Week 1 and fill his usual role as Tampa Bay's top target in the passing game.

Evans (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after missing practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Arians expects Evans to regain his health by Sunday, but the story nonetheless merits tracking prior to the Bucs' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The weather forecast doesn't look great if he's still a bit under the weather, with the high Sunday in Tampa Bay estimated at 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Evans missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The end-of-week timing isn't great, but coach Bruce Arians expects Evans to be fine for Sunday's game against the 49ers. It remains to be seen if the Bucs will list the wide receiver as 'questionable' on their final injury report Friday afternoon.
