Mike Evans

Mike Evans (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve Wednesday, officially ending his season.

Fantasy Impact

Evans strained his hamstring in Week 14’s win over the Colts, and the injury was significant enough for him to be placed on the injured reserve. He will finish 2019 with 67 catches for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns. In a corresponding move, the Buccaneers promoted Spencer Schnell from the practice squad. Look for Breshad Perriman to see the biggest bump in value with Evans sidelined for the season.

Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans is expected to miss the remainder of the 2019 season with a hamstring injury, according to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fantasy Impact

On Monday, it was reported that Evans was doubtful for Week 15 against the Lions in Detroit. Now, it seems as if the team could opt to shut him down for the rest of the season. If he is indeed done for the year, Evans will finish the season with 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns.

Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans is headed for an MRI on his injured hamstring on Monday after leaving Sunday's game against the Colts with a hamstring injury. Bucs head coach Bruce Arians said "It's not good" and "I'll be shocked if Mike makes it back before the last week" when asked about his star wideouts injury.

Fantasy Impact

It certainly sounds like Mike Evans is going to miss at least this week's game against the Lions in Detroit, and could possibly be out longer, With the Buccaneers sitting on the outside of the playoff picture, they could opt just to shut their top wide receiver down for the last few weeks. Chris Godwin and Breshad Perriman could both see increased targets with Evans out.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught 1-of-2 targets for a 61-yard touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Evans caught a 61-yard touchdown on his lone reception. In fact, he injured his hamstring on the play, which could be a season-ender. Evans gets the Lions in Week 15 if active, which looks like a longshot right now.

Mike Evans exited Sunday’s game early with a hamstring injury. Tampa Bay Head Coach Bruce Arians said “it’s not good.”

Fantasy Impact

There are reports that Evans hamstring injury could be season-ending, but an official diagnosis has not been announced. It sounds like he will miss some extended time. If Evans is out a while, look for Chris Godwin and Breshad Perriman to lead the Buccaneers wideout corps.
