Profile: Evans gains a lot per target, but sees few air yards and draws few targets.
For fantasy: his floor is his volume, 2.0 targets a game this season; efficiency decides how much of it becomes points.

Mitchell Evans Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE54 last season at 2.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE45 at 3.6 PPR points per game, against 2.8 over 17 games last season (TE54). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 60th of 81 in route participation (25.9%), 50th of 82 in target share (5.2%) and 41st of 82 in efficiency (1.20 yards per route run). Route participation is the soft spot. Bryce Young is his quarterback.
He's TE3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Lions in Week 4 (1st against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Evans graded out as the TE57 last season, and the underlying numbers explain why: 14 games, a 37.4% snap rate, and just 142 routes that produced 25 targets and a 5.2% target share. The volume is thin, but the efficiency flickers. He posted a 68% success rate, 0.128 EPA per play, a 76% catch rate, and 1.2 yards per route run, turning limited looks into 19 grabs for 171 yards and two scores. Four red-zone targets, three of them inside the ten, hint at where his value lives.
That scoring upside is the entire case right now. With a 0.176 targets-per-route mark and a sub-0.10 WOPR, he is a touchdown-dependent flier rather than a weekly play. Carried at roughly TE60 in early drafts, Evans is purely a deep-league dart. If the snaps and route volume climb in Carolina's pecking order, the red-zone profile gives him a real path; until then, hold the pick.
What Drives His Outlook
