Buccaneers WR Mike Evans 'tweaked' his hamstring

May 29, 2015

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans exited in the waning stages of practice with an apparent right hamstring injury, but coach Lovie Smith didn't seem fazed. The second-year player injured his left hamstring during the first offseason practice last year and missed an extended period of summer work.

"He tweaked it a little bit; he'll be fine," Smith said.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans finished as the #11 receiver in standard formats and #13 in PPR. He should enjoy a quarterback upgrade this year and should continue to develop as a receiver. Expect more of the same from Evans, though we'd like him to be able to practice to develop a strong rapport with new QB Jameis Winston.

“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.
