Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said he doesn’t expect Mike Evans (hamstring) to return before the team’s Week 11 bye.

Confirming earlier reporting, Evans has a serious hamstring injury. It’s still possible that he’s placed on injured reserve, but the Buccaneers are playing it cagey with the idea that he could return for Week 12’s game against the Giants. Evans had a 26/335/6 receiving line in seven starts so far this season. He bequeaths Baker Mayfield, who is playing the best ball of his career, to Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and Cade Otton. “We’re not going to ask them to be Mike and Chris,” Bowles added. Well, duh.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud expects Mike Evans to miss “at least” the next three games.

The Bucs reportedly aren’t planning to put Evans on injured reserve if there’s a chance he can return for Week 12’s game against the Giants. It sure sounds like Evans will be down for at least a month, including Tampa’s Week 11 bye. Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard will get target boosts without Evans and Chris Godwin. Cade Otton is also in line for major work.
Micah Parsons

DAL EDGE #11

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said DE Micah Parsons (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 8.

Parsons has been sidelined for the past two games with a serious ankle injury. If he suits up against the Niners, Parsons could be used on a rotational basis before he gets a full complement of snaps in Week 9 or beyond. The Cowboys, allowing the NFL’s third highest EPA per play this season, desperately need Parsons back if they have any chance of slowing down the 49ers offense.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

NewOrleans.football’s Nick Underhill reports Chris Olave (concussion) could return in Week 8.

Olave is still making his way through the league’s concussion protocol following his Week 6 brain injury but Underhill said the receiver has a chance to suit up in Week 8 against the Chargers. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) done for the season, Olave could see a spike in targets in the balanced Saints offense. Olave drafters should check his Thursday and Friday practice status before plugging him into lineups this week.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Mike Evans will undergo an MRI on his injured hamstring.

Evans went down with what looked to be a serious hamstring injury in Monday night’s loss to the Ravens. He entered the game nursing a hamstring issue. It’s an injury with which Evans has struggled throughout his career. It wouldn’t be surprising if Evans missed multiple weeks. Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard could function as the Bucs’ top two wideouts with Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle) sidelined. Cade Otton would also see a target boost.
Chris Godwin

TB Wide Receiver #14

Chris Godwin will undergo ankle surgery this week.

Godwin suffered a frightening ankle dislocation near the end of the Bucs’ Monday night loss to the Ravens and was carted off the field. His season is over. It’s a giant blow to the pass-heavy Tampa offense, along with Mike Evans’ apparently serious hamstring injury that could keep him sidelined for a while. Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard are set to be the team’s top two wideouts for the time being.
Jayden Daniels

WAS Quarterback #5

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jayden Daniels (ribs) is “very much in doubt” for Week 8 against the Bears.

The Commanders, per Rapoport, are going to be “more cautious than anything” in handling the rib injury Daniels sustained in Week 7 against Carolina. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Daniels is “week to week,” adding the team hopes he can suit up Sunday against Chicago. Fantasy managers should assume Daniels misses at least one game. Marcus Mariota, who had 205 yards and two scores in Week 7, would get the call against the Bears if Daniels is sidelined.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Marvin Harrison Jr. caught 3-of-6 targets for 21 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 7 win over the Chargers.

Harrison Jr. has all the talent in the world but continues to be restricted by his offensive coordinator, with a pass game design that fails in providing an environment conducive to upside-generating routes for the primary pass-catchers. Considering his lone eruption game this season came with quarterback Kyler Murray making plays happen out of structure, we could be continuing to share in Harrison Jr.'s visible frustration for as long as Drew Petzing is calling plays in the desert. Up next for Harrison Jr. and the Cardinals is a Dolphins team expecting to get quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back from his most recent concussion in Week 8.
Trey McBride

ARI Tight End #85

Trey McBride caught 5-of-7 targets for 51 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 7 win over the Chargers.

McBride led the team in targets but was out-gained by running back James Conner. While the third-year tight end continues to display elite athleticism on a weekly basis, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing’s pass offense remains unimaginative and flat, most notably constraining McBride to low upside routes over the middle of the field and to the sideline. Until that changes, McBride unfortunately feels restricted to low end TE1 production.
James Conner

ARI Running Back #6

James Conner rushed 19 times for 101 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 7 win over the Chargers, adding 51 yards on two receptions.

The only thing Conner failed to do in this one was find paint after functioning as the primary point of emphasis for a Cardinals team that pulled off the upset at home. Most notably, a timely fumble recovery after a 41-yard reception from Jalen Reagor at the three yard line allowed the Cardinals to control the flow of the game on the ground, keeping the ball away from the elite run offense of the Chargers in the process. Conner continues to see reliable volume for a Cardinals team suddenly just one game back for the division lead.
