Evans has stellar performance in Bucs' preseason opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught 4-of-7 targets for 58 yards in two drives of action in the Bucs' preseason opener.

Evans dominated the game’s opening possession, hauling in three passes for 52 yards including a 29-yarder where he beat Darqueze Dennard one on one.

Evans lost consecutive end-zone targets against Adam Jones to close out the drive, however, forcing the Bucs to settle for a field goal. Nevertheless, it was encouraging to see Jameis Winston pepper Evans with five first-drive targets and two more on the second possession.

Evans should be one of this year's top-seven fantasy receivers drafted, along with Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham, A.J. Green, Jordy Nelson, and Michael Thomas.
