Tampa Bay Buccaneers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was listed as limited on Thursday in the team's first practice of the week. White was inactive for the team's Week 6 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints, which allowed rookie Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker to share the backfield in the blowout victory. Both Irving and Tucker went over 100 scrimmage yards in the impressive performance, which has led to the Buccaneers going to a three-man backfield committee once White is able to return to full health. It's bad news for the 25-year-old White, who has easily been the least efficient of the Bucs' three backs through six weeks of the season. Tampa plans to go with the hot-hand approach, so all is not lost for White, but for now, he's on the outside looking in after missing last week's game due to injury. And with Tampa not playing until Monday against the Ravens, White isn't a recommended fantasy play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) missed practice on Thursday with a nagging hamstring issue. It's an injury that gave Evans some problems during the team's Week 6 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints, but it doesn't sound like anything too serious, with head coach Todd Bowles expecting Evans to return to practice on Friday or Saturday. The Buccaneers play on Monday night this week versus the Baltimore Ravens. The 31-year-old could eventually get a questionable tag on Saturday's final injury report, but as of right now, he appears to be on the right side of questionable. After catching three touchdown passes in Weeks 4 and 5, Evans came back down to earth last week with just two catches for 34 yards. If he's active on Monday night, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 against Baltimore.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (leg) is not practicing on Thursday to begin Week 7 preparation. The team faces the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football, so Evans' status will be worth monitoring ahead of a potential late-week start-or-sit decision. As he often is, Evans has been up and down this season. Overall, the 31-year-old has hauled in 25 of his 42 targets for 310 yards and five touchdowns. However, he has three games of under 45 yards. The Ravens have allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, so he could be in for a big spike week if he plays. If not, Chris Godwin has legitimate WR1 overall upside, while Jalen McMillan and tight end Cade Otton could become viable options at flex and TE.
