Mike Evans

Mike Evans returned to practice this week. With his injury, since he's been medically cleared, I expect him to play this week, but we need to see if that will be the case. His injury isn't like a knee or hammy in that if he is medically cleared and his conditioning is good, he should return to his usual role, but we need to see how the week plays out.

Mike Evans salvaged a quiet outing during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, recording three receptions on seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown. The perennial Pro Bowler was largely a non-factor before hauling in a four-yard scoring grab with just under a minute remaining in regulation. Notably, he surpassed the 13,000-yard career receiving mark on one of his earlier catches.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has now posted identical stat lines of 31 yards and a touchdown in back-to-back contests. He will look to help the Buccaneers secure the NFC South title in a winner-take-all Week 18 matchup against the Panthers.
