Mike Evans joins private practice with Buccaneers teammates
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans participated in a private practice with teammates led by quarterback Tom Brady at a local Tampa high school.
Evans joined the group after not being present at the beginning of the week. He's been getting in reps with Brady since at least May and the growing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't deterred things. Last season, Evans joined Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to begin their careers with six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He's also hauled in 8 touchdowns each of the past two years. Evans will compete with Chris Godwin to be Brady's top target in Tampa Bay.
Evans is the WR6 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 146.9 targets, 86.4 receptions, 1,187.1 yards, and 7.9 touchdowns. He added the sixth-most Reception Net Expected Points per target last season out of 30 receivers with at least 100 targets.
