5. WR Mike Evans

Fifth on the list of the top five Buccaneers in PFF grades is superstar Mike Evans. While Evans has burst back onto the scene in Tampa over the last two weeks, he did play through the first two games while fighting through a bug; this more than likely caused Evans to post a lower score over the first two weeks of the season.

As it stands, Evans is graded out at a high 80.8 by PFF, which is sure to make Kanye West a happy camper. Over the past two weeks, though, Evans has scored four touchdowns and has recorded the majority of his receiving yards in this span as well after getting healthy. Evans is bound to head only up from here, and this grade is really just the beginning for him.

On pace for 1,500 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 72 catches, Evans looks to hang with Randy Moss as not only the only other receiver to have 1,000 yard through their first five seasons in the NFL, but first six as well. Evans will need seven straight years of over 1,000 yards to become the only receiver to do so in the history of the NFL.
