Tampa Bay Buccaneers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was a limited practice participant for the second day in a row ahead of the team's Monday night matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The third-year back sustained a foot injury in Tampa Bay's Week 5 loss to their division-rival Atlanta Falcons when a defender used an outlawed means to bring him to the turf (hip-drop-tackle). The limited sessions are an upgrade from the DNP designation he garnered last week, but his status for Monday Night Football is uncertain. If White can't play, backfield mates Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker will again split the Bucs' RB touches. Still, upon his return, the former Sun Devil will be a part of a three-man RBBC that evolved into a "hot-hand" situation while he was out for Week 6.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was working with a trainer on a side field during Friday's practice that was open to the media. Evans is dealing with a hamstring strain this week and isn't practicing much this week. However, he's expected to suit up in Week 7 on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Evans didn't practice on Thursday and will likely be listed as limited on Friday. The Bucs will release their final injury report on Saturday, where Evans could be given a questionable tag. The 31-year-old will certainly be a more risky fantasy play this week given his injury, but it sounds like managers will be able to roll the dice and keep him in starting lineups for Monday's game. If Evans has his snaps limited at all on Monday, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan would benefit from more targets in the passing game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was seen working with trainers on Friday, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. Auman further reported that the star wideout still has a chance to suit up on Monday. Evans did not participate in practice on Thursday due to this hamstring injury. While he has not returned to full participation, it is promising to see him on the field nonetheless. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend as he may carry an injury designation into Monday's game. If Evans can play, he should be locked into all lineups facing the Ravens, who have allowed the 29th-most points to opposing wideouts. If not, rookie Jalen McMillan should see an uptick in opportunities.
