Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Mike Evans to undergo MRI on hamstring
Mike Evans will undergo an MRI on Tuesday morning after re-aggravating it in Monday night’s loss to the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Evans left the game in the second quarter after dropping a potential touchdown pass and did not return. The MRI will determine the severity and potential timeline for his return, but for now, his status is to be determined. When Evans does return to the lineup, he will take over as the clear alpha in the Bucs’ offense due to Chris Godwin‘s brutal injury. He should fall in the late WR1 to early WR2 range when he does find his way back on the field.

Chris Godwin believed to have suffered dislocated ankle
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is feared to have suffered a dislocated ankle in the final seconds of the Buccaneers’ Week 7 Monday night loss.
Fantasy Impact
Godwin was carted off the field after suffering an apparent serious injury in the final minute of the game. He had an air cast on his leg, and initial fears regarding his injury likely indicate it could be a season-ending ailment. He will likely undergo further testing on Tuesday, but for now, the assumption is that he will be out for an extended time. He had seven catches for 65 yards before the injury and has 50 catches for 576 yards this season through seven games. Mike Evans will continue to be the top target, and WRs Sterling Shepard, Trey Palmer and rookie Jalen McMillan will be looked at to step up in his absence.
