2017 Buccaneers fantasy forecast: WR, Mike Evans
![NEW ORLEANS, LA - DECEMBER 24: Mike Evans NEW ORLEANS, LA - DECEMBER 24: Mike Evans](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/shape/cover/sport/209bf3b9882bc9d32eb877d127a0a5baf993bcc40df6ee005b381017078bb629.jpg)
Prediction
Evans is a legitimate WR1 in fantasy football and is the main guy in the Bucs’ receiving corps.
Brate may be Winston’s safety net, but Evans is his favorite place to go I think.
I place him in the Top-5 of fantasy football receivers among names like Antonio Brown, Jordy Nelson, Odell Beckham Jr., and Julio Jones.
Recently, the guys over at The Fantasy Footballers gave their rankings for wide receivers this year, and we even had Pro Football Spot’s Jake Arthur on the Walking the Plank Podcast to talk the position.
Jake currently has Evans
as his third receiver behind Brown and Jones. Good company to be in.
Andy, Jason and Mike (The Fantasy Footballers) placed Evans sixth. Just outside of the Top-5.
Mike placed him in his Top-5, along with Brown, Jones, ODB and Nelson.
Andy and Jason put A.J. Green ahead of Evans in their rankings.
My Prediction: 101-catches, 1,250-yards, and 13-touchdowns (WR2)
