Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about Mike Evans this week.
The Buccaneers control their own destiny in the NFC South, just needing to beat the helpless Saints at home. While making the postseason is the main priority, the team will also look to feed wideout Mike Evans ($8,000). Despite playing in just 13 games, the veteran is 85 yards away from matching Jerry Rice’s all-time mark of eleven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Quarterback Baker Mayfield ($7,000) is aware of what’s at stake, telling reporters that if Tampa Bay wins, Evans will be getting the record.
Is Evans a slam-dunk starter this Sunday, or should fantasy managers exercise caution? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- While it’s obvious that Evans will get targeted often, everyone is going to be backing the veteran this weekend. As a pivot, Meghan and Steve like Jalen McMillan ($5,100). The rookie has come on strong recently, putting up 80.2 DK fantasy points over his last four games.
- In a DFS tournament, the difference between Tampa Bay’s top two receivers is drastic. Aside from a price difference of nearly $3,000, projections point to Evans being rostered by more than 35% of managers on Sunday. McMillan? Just two percent.
