vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. player. 48. 4. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Week 1. MikeEvans

Coming in at No. 4 is Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans. Evans will face off against the Cowboys star in Week 1, and Diggs will look to repeat his success against the Bucs pass-catcher.

Last season, Diggs held Evans to just 15 yards on two catches, while also recording an interception. He is expected to primarily shadow the star receiver in their matchup, and the task could be a little tougher this season with more targets likely to be on the way for Evans.

The Bucs have lost some pass-catchers over the off-season including wide receiver Antonio Brown and tight end Rob Gronkowski (tentative to change). They did add tight end Cade Otton in the draft and wide receiver Russell Gage in free agency, but only the latter will be considered a legit contributor in year one for now.

With how the receiver room has changed over the offseason, Evans should be expecting even more targets this upcoming season. This may be true especially in Week 1 due to receiver Chris Godwin likely not being available. Expect Diggs vs. Evans to be a hot topic leading up to the season, as the ball may be coming their way often.
