Omari Evans News, Rumors, Updates - Penn State Nittany Lions | FOX Sports

Draws penalty on lone target Evans did not finish with an official target during Saturday's 21-7 win against Illinois.

Impact Evans appeared to fall out of the game plan as the Nittany Lions focused on a ground-and-pound attack Week 5. The 6-foot junior logged long TD passes with notching four targets in each of the previous two games, though he saw just one target Saturday, drawing a pass interference on a deep pass. Unless Evans continues to reel in long touchdowns, he'll be largely invisible for fantasy purposes, as the Nittany Lions still seem committed to a run-centric offense with standout ball-carriers Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen.

Catches another TD in Week 4 Evans caught all four targets for 116 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 56-0 victory over Kent State.

Impact Evans caught a touchdown for the second game in a row - this time on a massive 59-yard heave from quarterback Drew Allar to open the second half. The 6-foot wideout hasn't been anywhere close to a featured piece in the passing game. However, he's now logged four targets in three straight games, and his value as a deep threat could make him a nice complementary piece to tight end Tyler Warren, who has led this receiving corps with 16 catches (on 17 targets) for 226 yards and two touchdowns. Evans will likely need to keep making plays in the deep, vertical passing game in order to make him a valuable fantasy player moving forward.

Catches touchdown pass Week 2 Evans tallied two receptions (on four targets) for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-27 win against Bowling Green.

Impact Evans caught the third touchdown pass of his career on a walk-in 29-yard score in the second quarter. The 6-foot junior has only totaled eight targets through the first two weeks, but he also ranks third on the team in this category behind wideout Harrison Wallace (11) and tight end Tyler Warren (11) so far this season. With quarterback Drew Allar going 24-for-37 for 420 yards and five touchdowns over Weeks 1 and 2, it looks like this receiving corps might have limited opportunities for production.
