Evans brought in six of eight targets for 116 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-9 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans co-led the team in receptions while pacing all Bucs pass catchers in receiving yardage. The fifth-year veteran now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts for the second time this season, and his yardage haul for the day vaulted him over the 1,000-yard mark for the campaign. If Jameis Winston can maintain the caliber of play he displayed Sunday, it can only mean good things for Evans' fantasy prospects down the stretch. Evans will look to post his third straight 100-yard effort against the Panthers in Week 13.

Evans brought in six of seven targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-35 loss to the Giants on Sunday. He also recovered a Jameis Winston fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Evans bounced back nicely from two sub-par weeks, eclipsing the 100-yard mark and notching a receiving touchdown for the first time in three games. Moreover, he was credited with another score on a recovery of a Jameis Winston fumble into the end zone in the third quarter. Evans' 41-yard touchdown reception with 2:22 remaining also gave the Bucs hope by bringing them to within 38-35, but Winston ultimately threw an interception with 23 seconds left that sealed Tampa's fate. Evans will look to build on his impressive performance versus the 49ers in Week 12.

Evans caught three of six passes for 51 yards during Sunday's 16-3 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Evans made a couple of highlight-reel catches on Sunday, including a falling 23-yard completion in the third quarter that required Evans to go back across his body for the grab. Still, Sunday ended with Evans being held under 60 yards for the fourth time in six games and -- though there are two really nice performances sandwiched in between -- the star receiver has scored just once after finding the end zone in three straight contests to start the season. Tampa Bay figures to keep pushing the ball downfield and -- as Evans is the team's most-targeted option by a sizable margin -- it's probably worth riding it out with him. Next up is a dead-average Giants pass defense giving up 244 yards per game.

Evans (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against Washington, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans followed the same pattern last week, logging one absence (Wednesday), one limited practice (Thursday) and one full session (Friday). The knee injury may have contributed to his one-catch nightmare in a loss to the Panthers, but he'll have a good chance to bounce back this week even if he's a tick below 100 percent healthy. While mostly impressive this season, the Washington defense has surrendered 9.1 yards per targets to wide receivers following last week's embarrassment at the hands of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

Evans (knee) turned in a limited practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was a spectator for the Buccaneers' first session of the week due to the ankle issue, with his absence believed to be maintenance-related more than anything. Coach Dirk Koetter and offensive coordinator Todd Monken both confirmed as much Thursday, saying that they fully expect Evans to play Sunday against the Redskins, per Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site. After the Panthers held him to one reception on 10 targets in Week 9, Evans will look to bounce back against a Washington secondary that could be missing starting cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin).

Evans (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans kicked off last week with no participation in the initial practice but built up to full by Friday's session. He seems to be doing the same this week, but his activity level Thursday won't be known until the Buccaneers release their second Week 10 injury report.

Evans (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was also held out of practice last Wednesday, upgrading to limited participation Thursday and then a full session Friday. He went on to handle his usual workload in a 42-28 loss to Carolina, but it's quite possible the knee injury contributed to a hideous stat line -- one catch for 16 yards on 10 targets. It's only fair to expect a rebound Sunday against Washington, assuming Evans makes it back to practice Thursday and/or Friday.

Evans brought in one of 10 targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 42-28 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans' atrocious catch rate led to a highly frustrating afternoon for the Pro Bowl wideout, who'd also dealt with a knee issue throughout the practice week. Evans simply couldn't get on the same page with Ryan Fitzpatrick, leading to his worst game of the season by far. The fourth-year receiver did pace the team in targets, so there continues to be no shortage of opportunities for him to succeed. Given his previous body of work this season, it's likely safe to chalk this performance up as an outlier he'll look to bounce back from in Week 10 against the Redskins.

Evans (knee) logged a full practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was some concern when Evans was held out of practice Wednesday, but he returned to a limited session Thursday and was full-go to close out the week. He'll catch passes from Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has been on the throwing end of each of Evans' four touchdowns this season.

Evans (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was seen limping near the end of the Buccaneers' Week 8 loss in Cincinnati, Evans has some work to do to gain clearance to play Sunday at Carolina. Friday's injury report could clarify as much, but there's a possibility he'll enter the weekend with a designation in tow.
