Mike Evans Doubtful To Face Saints
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as doubtful to face the Saints in Week 1 on Sunday. There was some optimism building around Evans after he did some individual drills in practice on Friday, but his soft-tissue injury will likely keep him out and somewhat spoil quarterback Tom Brady's debut with the team. You should obviously make plans to be without Evans in the season opener. That makes Chris Godwin a must-start in fantasy, while it also hurts Brady's appeal as a low-end QB1 in his first start with Tampa. Scotty Miller will become a season-long and DFS sleeper if Evans is inactive on Sunday, while tight ends Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate could all see bigger workloads as a result.
