Mike Evans, Leonard Fournette, Scotty Miller Up In The Air
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Scotty Miller (groin, hip) and running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will likely be game-time decisions for Week 6 against the Packers. Evans continues to play through nagging injuries and he was a limited practice participant on Thursday, so we'd expect him to be active this Sunday. The team's top wideout leads Tampa in targets (38) by a healthy margin and will continue to have WR1 upside if he plays in what could be a high-scoring affair this weekend. His red-zone prowess has made up for his lack of yardage so far this year. Miller saw zero targets last Thursday, which makes him a hard-to-trust WR4/flex in deeper leagues, especially with Chris Godwin (hamstring) on track to return Sunday. Fournette was active last week but didn't see the field at all. Even if he's active against Green Bay, Ronald Jones II has the hot hand right now after going over 100 rushing yards in back-to-back games. The matchup is a great one, but Fournette is trending down in this crowded backfield.
