Mike Evans Turns Heads in Joint Practice with Steelers

Friday, August 15, 12:59 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans impressed during Thursday's joint practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Evans won a red-zone battle against cornerback Jalen Ramsey for a two-point conversion, then capped the day by hauling in a touchdown from Baker Mayfield during a two-minute drill. After posting a "down year" in 2024 with 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns, Evans looks determined to return to elite form in 2025. The veteran remains one of the NFL's most reliable end-zone threats, and fantasy managers should consider him a steady WR2 with WR1 upside heading into draft season.

DeVonta Smith News

DeVonta Smith's Stock on the Rise

Monday, August 4, 9:06 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is standing out in camp and looking like a "bounce-back" candidate heading into the new season, Zach Berman of PHLY observes. Smith missed four games a season ago, but his fourth year in the NFL was still yet another productive campaign. He hauled in a career-high eight touchdowns while amassing 833 yards on 68 catches (89 targets). Smith's yardage total was the lowest of his career, but he likely would've gone over the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight season had he been healthier. Although Smith is behind A.J. Brown in Philly's receiver pecking order, he's good enough to enter 2025 as RotoBaller's 25th-ranked WR.
