Mike Evans (back) misses practice

Nov 25, 2021

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans missed Thursday's practice with a back injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans has missed the first two practices of the week with the back injury, though it should be noted that Wednesday's practice was merely a walkthrough. Evans could still play with no practice due to Bruce Arians being extremely comfortable trusting his veterans and medical staff opinions on game day, but fantasy managers would prefer to see him log at least a limited session on Friday. With Antonio Brown slated to be out at least one more week, the Buccaneers could be down to Chris Godwin, Tyler Johnson, and Scott Miller as their top three receivers for Week 12. This is a situation for fantasy managers to monitor but is one that will likely come down to a game-time decision. Mike Evans is currently our seventh-ranked wide receiver for Week 12.

“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.
