Mike Evans

Mike Evans (hamstring) was officially limited at Tampa Bay's practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has been out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, but he returned to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. He is reportedly 'planning to play' in Week 12, but that has yet to be officially determined. His return would mean less work for Cade Otton moving forward.

Mike Evans is expected to return on Sunday against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has been sidelined since Week 7 with his hamstring injury. This was the target return for him off the Buccaneers bye week. He should return to his No. 1 wide receiver role for Baker Mayfield.

Mike Evans was seen practicing on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

The Buccaneers practiced on Monday coming off their bye week. This upcoming week has been the target for Evans to return after going down with his hamstring injury. His status will be worth monitoring at practice throughout the week.

Mike Evans has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Evans was never expected to return this week. It should be another heavy week of Cade Otton, Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Jalen McMillan (if he is cleared) in the passing game for Baker Mayfield.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans remained a non-participant at practice on Wednesday heading into Week 10's contest.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has not played since he re-aggravated his existing hamstring injury on Oct. 21. The expectation was that he would return after the team's bye in Week 11, so his continued absence is not unexpected. Tampa Bay is playing it carefully with how tricky hamstrings can be, and he will be in line for a big role when he returns given the Bucs' current injuries.
