Few wide receivers in NFL history have been able to put up big numbers in their 30s, but then again, few wide receivers in NFL history have ever been as special as Mike Evans.
The legendary Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass-catcher has been the most consistent producer in the league since he was picked in the first round of the 2014 draft, topping 1,000 yards in each of his first 10 seasons (an NFL record).
But heading into his 11th year in the league, it looks like fantasy football managers might be underrating Evans after he signed a new two-year contract extension with the Bucs:
Mike Evans is the WR14 in ESPN's live draft trends.
The future Hall of Famer has cleared over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 10 seasons, and in 2023, he posted the 3rd most receiving yards and matched the 2nd highest TD total of his career: pic.twitter.com/AIQT1yEYHD

Getting Evans as the 14th receiver off the board in redraft leagues is a bargain for a player who is an automatic 1,000-yard performer every single year. He’s also topped double-digit touchdown receptions in five of his 10 seasons, tying for the league lead last year with 13 (Tyreek Hill).
Don’t sleep on Evans in your fantasy drafts this year.
