Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.
Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently in no danger of missing this weekend’s game vs. the Chargers. We’ll keep an eye out for any additional reports on Evans’ hamstring, but he can stay in fantasy lineups for now.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed the first two practices last week before playing his usual role in the win over the Raiders. Evans should be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers, but we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring, calf) is not listed on the final Week 14 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently in no danger of missing Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. We’ll keep an eye out for any further updates on Evans’ status. But, as of now, consider him a WR1 in fantasy lineups.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring, calf) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. We don't have any additional info on these injuries, but Evans' status for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders is seemingly up in the air. We'll see if he practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring, calf) did not practice on Wednesday. It could be an early-week rest day. But Evans was a full participant all three days last week -- and had a calf added to this week's injury report. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught eight of 12 targets for 118 yards and a TD. Though QB Baker Mayfield left briefly with an ankle issue, he was able to return and continue to feed Evans the ball.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans returned from his hamstring injury but only caught five of six targets for 68 yards. The Bucs did most of their damage on the ground in this game, so expect better numbers moving forward.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Saturday that Tampa Bay would monitor Evans’ snaps in his first action since Week 7, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that Evans will play “without any restrictions.” There’s some uncertainty here, but Evans would be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups against a leaky Giants secondary.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Giants today. "He's good to go without any restrictions," Rapoport adds. There have been mixed messages on Evans' expected role throughout the week, with Bucs coaches and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggesting that his snaps could be limited in his first action since Week 7. Ultimately, Evans' target potential and matchup are too strong to bench for the majority of fantasy teams.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but limited on Wednesday and Friday. We’re expecting Evans to play on Sunday, but it sounds like his snaps could be scaled back at least a little. “We’ll play him as long as he’s healthy and fresh and needs to be in there,” HC Todd Bowles said Friday. “But we’ll get him out when we have to.” Consider Evans a risk/reward WR2 in this plus matchup.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to play against the Giants this weekend, although OC Liam Coen said Thursday that he's not sure yet if Evans will be a full-go. "It’s just gonna be hard to tell … how much is he gonna be able to go, if he can go? I don’t know," Coen said. We'll look for further updates on Evans' status for this one. For now, he's shaping up as a risk/reward WR2 play.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is "planning to play" vs. the Giants this weekend, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Evans has been out since Week 7 but will be returning to a Chris Godwin-less WR corps. That gives Evans a chance to be big volume the rest of the way. He checks in 10th in our current Week 12 WR Rankings. We'll track his practice participation throughout the week and looks for any reports on Tampa's plans for his snaps in his first game back.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton delivered 8 catches, 77 yards, and 1 TD against Kansas City. He saw a huge 35.4% target share – easily the best on the team.
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 37-of-50 passes for 330 yards and three TDs. He also had two INTs on the day, but showed that he can produce even without WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. He’s expected to be out through Tampa Bay’s Week 11 bye. With WR Chris Godwin (knee) out for the season, the Bucs are down to Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer, and Sterling Shepard as their top three WRs. McMillan is our favorite among the three, but you’d ideally avoid this situation in Week 8 season-long lineups.
Bucs WR Mike Evans is expected to miss the next three games with his hamstring injury, HC Todd Bowles said. Tampa Bay gets the Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers the next three weeks before a Week 11 bye. It sounds like Evans has a good chance to be back for Week 12.
