Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (groin, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 5. Evans is expected to miss a couple of weeks with the injury. Louis Murphy saw big playing time in Week 4 and produced. He should be the biggest beneficiary from Evans’ absence.

Buccaneers QB Josh McCown (right thumb, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4. Mike Glennon is very likely to start against the Steelers in Week 4. He may improve the fantasy prospects of Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans.

Maybe the best thing about Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is he doesn't know how good he is.

He called Sunday's 26-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter of a 20-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers "just another catch to me," and it was anything but.

Or maybe Benjamin does know how good he is. Asked what message his six-catch, 92-yard, one touchdown debut sent to the rest of the NFL, he smiled and said, "Tampa Bay fans are probably saying they should have drafted me."

While taking a wait-and-see approach with rookies like Benjamin and the Saints Brandin Cooks is painful to watch as they put up points on your bench, Mike Evans and Sammy Watkins didn't finish with impressive fantasy numbers which shows how unpredictable rookies can be. Going forward, Benjamin owners can feel a little better about using him in lineups, especially in WR3 or flex positions.

Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans are the clear WR starters and appear headed for great things with the Bucs. Who comes into the game when the Bucs want to go to a three-receiver set, however, is far less clear.

Head Coach Lovie Smith has said on several occasions that this slot receiver is usually a smaller player, one with quickness and shifty moves. That would seem to describe rookie Robert Herron, and indeed Smith mentioned that as a possible role for Herron when he was drafted out of Wyoming in the sixth round in May.

Chris Owusu began the preseason listed as a starter opposite Jackson, which would seem to indicate that he had separated from the pack a little bit in the early part of training camp. He has just two catches for 15 yards through three games, however. After Jackson and Evans, it's veteran Louis Murphy who has the highest receiving totals in the preseason, with five catches for 66 yards. In truth, there hasn't been too much evidence in the three warm-up games to suggest any one candidate has seized control of the slot job.
