Mike Evans (hamstring) not expected to return before Week 11 bye
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said he doesn’t expect Mike Evans to return before the team’s Week 11 bye.
Fantasy Impact
Evans entered Monday’s game with a hamstring injury and left early in the game due to the same injury. With Chris Godwin out for the season, Cade Otton and Jalen McMillan should be among the players who take on an expanded role.

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.
