Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We should get an update on Irving by Sunday morning and will have Tampa Bay’s inactives by 11:30 am. If he ends up missing this one, Rachaad White would be a borderline RB1 and Sean Tucker at least a RB3 or Flex option.

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 RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He played through these injuries last week but isn't guaranteed to play vs. Las Vegas on Sunday. Irving's absence would leave Tampa's backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. We'll update Irving's status again by Friday afternoon.

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 RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) did not practice on Wednesday. He played into overtime last week, so we're not expecting these issues to keep him out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. If they did, though, RB Rachaad White would become a must-start, and RB Sean Tucker would become a viable RB3 or Flex. We'll update Irving's status again on Thursday.

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 RB Bucky Irving ran the ball 25 times for 152 yards and a TD. He also caught three passes for 33 yards. All of this despite a hip injury at the end of the first half that left him questionable to return. He did return and dominated the Panthers.

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 QB Baker Mayfield suffered an apparent ankle injury on a sack in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He was down for a couple of minutes but eventually walked off under his own power. We'll update Mayfield's status when we know more. QB Kyle Trask has replaced Mayfield.

Update: Mayfield returned after missing just two snaps.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with a hip injury. His last touch came on a kick return at the end of the first half. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Irving returned on Tampa Bay's second possession of the second half.

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 RBs Bucky Irving, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker along with QB Baker Mayfield all scored a rushing TD against the Giants. Irving ended with 12 carries for 87 yards and caught all six of his targets for 64 yards. White ran the ball 12 times for 37 yards as well as catching his lone target for 10 yards. Tucker scored the first TD of the day with four carries for three yards.

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 RB Bucky Irving gashed the 49ers for 73 yards and 1 score on 13 attempts. He out-carried Rachaad White by 3 and topped him in yards per carry (5.6 vs. 3.1).

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday and would be a high-risk Week 10 fantasy start.

The Bucs removed WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring, hip) from the final injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently good to go for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Shepard has seen five targets in each of the last two games, posting 3-18-0 and 4-48-0 lines. He's an unexciting fantasy option.
