Mike Evans and Zay Flowers are two prolific wide receivers who sit on opposite ends of the career spectrum. One is a veteran of more than ten seasons who has broken multiple franchise and league records and won a Super Bowl, while the other is a young, promising sophomore coming off his first streak of 100-yard games.

At the New Orleans Saints last time around, Mike Evans was surprisingly nowhere to be seen, as he was limited to only two catches for 34 yards and no touchdowns. It did not matter, however, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned the game into a rout during the second half, with his fellow Pro Bowler Chris Godwin posting a monstrous 125 yards and two touchdowns from eleven catches.

But coach Todd Bowles will hope for a more dominant showing from his No. 1 pass-catcher, especially against a defense that boasts multiple Pro Bowlers, including defensive backs Marlon Humphrey and Kyle Hamilton.
Is Zay Flowers a good fantasy pick in Week 7?
111 yards on seven catches against the Cincinnati Bengals.
132 yards on nine catches against the Washington Commanders.
That is how dominant Zay Flowers has been in the past two games. With Mark Andrews seemingly regressing, he has become the Baltimore Ravens' leading pass-catcher this season. And those two games perfectly represent how important he has become to them.
He has a great opportunity awaiting him against the Buccaneers, whose secondary took a sizable hit during the offseason when top cornerback Carlton Davis was traded to the Detroit Lions. Then, they lost safety Antoine Winfield Jr. for a month to a foot injury.
Whom should I start between Mike Evans and Zay Flowers?
It is a close battle, but according to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Tool, you should start Evans.
Week 6 looked to be a major aberration from his usual dominance for the first 30 minutes, but the victory still happened, thanks to other players. And sometimes, the best players shine when confronted with the best opposition.
That looks to be the case here, but either man is someone a fantasy player can have on their squad without much worry.
