Bucs WR Mike Evans to miss 2-3 weeks

Sep 29, 2014

Buccaneers rookie WR Mike Evans out an estimated 2-3 weeks with a groin strain suffered yesterday, source says.

Fantasy Impact:

It would make a lot of sense for the team to keep him out right through the bye in Week 7 and then return in Week 8 against the Vikings. Evans caught his first TD in the NFL from Mike Glennon Sunday as the Bucs showed some life on offense for the first time this season. Louis Murphy, who had six catches for 99 yards Week 4, could see more time as a result of Evans being out. Robert Herron and Russell Shepard could also seem more snaps.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
