Mike Evans Expected to Practice Thursday
Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday ahead of the team's Monday Night Football matchup against the Detroit Lions. Evans has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, which has plagued him at various points throughout his career. With his anticipated return to practice, there's a strong chance he suits up against Detroit. The matchup is a favorable one, as the Lions have surrendered the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Given the current injuries to Chris Godwin (fibula) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), Evans should immediately reclaim a heavy target share in the passing game. Assuming he's active, Evans profiles as a high-end WR2 for Week 7, with legitimate upside to post WR1 numbers as he continues his pursuit of a 12th consecutive 1,000-yard season.
