Evans needs 85 yards Sunday against the Saints to tie Jerry Rice's NFL record of 11 straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.
In addition to the streak, Evans will earn a $3 million incentive if he catches five or more passes and records 85-plus yards. The Buccaneers aren't necessarily in position to force him the ball given that they need a win to lock up a playoff spot, but that could change in the second half if they pull away from the injury-riddled Saints. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said he's thinking about the milestone more than Evans is and believes the wideout will get the necessary numbers.
