Jameis Winston, Doug Martin, Mike Evans' Post-Week 7 Fantasy Advice

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had their hearts broken by Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon, but a few of the team's primary playmakers put forth efforts that had fantasy owners smiling. 

Here's a look at how Jameis Winston, Doug Martin and Mike Evans all performed in the 31-30 defeat.

Sunday was a major step forward for Winston, who has now strung together back-to-back efforts without an interception.

Aside from taking care of the ball admirably, Winston completed 72.4 percent of his passes and fell just three yards shy of his first 300-yard passing performance. All told, the Bucs quarterback posted a season-best 128.1 quarterback rating as his chemistry with Evans appeared to grow by the play. 

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli took note of some gaudy throws made by the 2015 No. 1 overall pick: 

"

Jameis has made two “oh so that’s why he was the first pick in the draft” throws today.

Winston shouldn't be considered close to an every-week fantasy starter just yet, but he's done enough to solidify his place as a legitimate bye-week fill-in. 

Next week, Winston and the Bucs will square off against an Atlanta Falcons team that has struggled mightily against the pass this season. Consider the rookie a sneaky plug-and-play option with upside. 

Doug Martin

Martin continues to make fantasy owners happy. 

Fresh off a bye week, Martin churned out his third straight 100-yard game on the ground. Martin didn't break through into the end zone for the third week in a row, but his raw-yardage totals were impressive enough. 

However, a Week 8 showdown with the Falcons could spell trouble for Martin. Atlanta's been the league's stingiest team against the run this season and has allowed more than 100 total rushing yards to an opponent just once over the season's first seven weeks. 

Martin should still be considered a high-end RB2, but a letdown could be in order against Atlanta. 

Mike Evans

Welcome back, Mr. Evans.

After starting the season with 13 catches in his first four games, Evans exploded against the Redskins for 164 yards and his first touchdown of the season.  

In fact, Evans accounted for 55.2 percent of Tampa Bay's receiving yards while getting targeted three times more than any other Buccaneers player.  

Considering Vincent Jackson left Thursday's game with a knee injury, per the Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman, Evans could be in line for an even heavier share of the team's targets moving forward. 

Simply put, Evans is a massive target for Winston on the outside, and Sunday's performance was closer to what owners expected when they spent a high draft pick on him. An upcoming schedule that includes the Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles should give him plenty of chances to break out. 

Expect Evans' stock to trend in a positive direction over the next month or so.
