Besides all the drops. The guy for being as large a human as he is doesn't attack the ball in the air at all. Winston gives him a number of catchable balls.
 
True Evans had some drops (5) the week before but he had like 150+ yards anyway. This last week against Dallas he also had around 130 yards. TB is short on receivers due to injuries and Evans has a lot of pressure on him to do everything he can to get open. He's forcing things right now because of coverages.
 
He hasn't had a great year - stats are down & he's dropped too many balls - but I still think he's one of the better young receivers in the game. He got hurt & missed most of the preseason, along with the first few games - then had to play his way into shape during the regular season. Add to that he's been a one man gang due to Jackson & their TE being injured, and you can certainly understand the decreased production.

He & KB will have similar careers.
