Mike Evans's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to miss at least the team's next three games against the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. The Bucs aren't planning to put Evans on Injured Reserve, though, if there's a chance he can return after the bye to face the New York Giants in Week 12. Going on IR would require Evans to miss at least four contests. The 31-year-old future Hall of Fame aggravated his right-hamstring injury in Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he at least managed to find the end zone for his fantasy managers before limping to the locker room. With Chris Godwin (ankle) likely out for the rest of the year, Tampa is going to roll into their Week 8 game against the division-rival Falcons with rookie Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer in three-wide sets.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday morning on his injured right hamstring, and his timeline for a return is to be determined. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin (ankle) needs surgery for a dislocated ankle he suffered in the Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens and is expected to miss the rest of the year. Evans was already battling a hamstring injury going into the Week 7 game and appeared to aggravate it as he nearly caught his second touchdown pass of the night midway through the second quarter. The 31-year-old looked to be in a lot of pain and immediately grabbed at his hammy before eventually limping to the locker room and quickly being ruled out for the rest of the game. Fantasy managers should consider Evans very iffy to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons until we know more about his injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's Week 7 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Evans started off great with a 25-yard touchdown to open the game. Sadly, Evans went down hard on his next red zone target which resulted in him leaving with the training staff. It's worth noting that Evans came into his contest with a hamstring issue, so it sounds like he re-aggravated it. Unfortunately, Evans night is over, but hopefully he won't be sidelined for long. Chris Godwin will become the primary wideout in Tampa Bay. The Bucs don't have a viable third receiver, so Rachaad White, Jalen McMillan, and Cade Otton should all see more involvement in the passing game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go for Monday's game, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The veteran wideout was held out of practice on Thursday and Friday. However, on Saturday, Evans was able to upgrade to limited participation and avoided an injury designation ahead of Monday's game. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting the 31-year-old in all formats as he will face a weak Baltimore secondary who have surrendered the 29th-most points to opposing wideouts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) will be questionable to play on Monday night in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens and will be a game-time decision. Evans was listed as a non-participant in practice on both Thursday and Friday but was seen practicing on Saturday, which at least gives him a shot to play on Monday. We would expect the 31-year-old to be able to suit up against Baltimore, but it's no sure thing and it puts fantasy manages in a tough predicament with Tampa not playing until Monday this week. Hopefully, we'll get a bit more clarity on Evans' status late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, but for now, he's trending as a volatile high-end WR2 this week because of his injury. If Evans is inactive on Monday night, Chris Godwin, Sterling Shepard and rookie Jalen McMillan are likely to start in three-receiver sets.
