Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or DeVonta Smith

Monday, October 21, 9:31 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's Week 7 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Evans started off great with a 25-yard touchdown to open the game. Sadly, Evans went down hard on his next red zone target which resulted in him leaving with the training staff. It's worth noting that Evans came into his contest with a hamstring issue, so it sounds like he re-aggravated it. Unfortunately, Evans night is over, but hopefully he won't be sidelined for long. Chris Godwin will become the primary wideout in Tampa Bay. The Bucs don't have a viable third receiver, so Rachaad White, Jalen McMillan, and Cade Otton should all see more involvement in the passing game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught one of his two targets and lost two yards during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. While this stat line is going to look terrible to those who did not watch this game, there is no real reason to panic here. The Eagles leaned heavily on running back Saquon Barkley in this game and he tallied 187 total yards. Quarterback Jalen Hurts only needed to attempt 14 passes and all of the starters were out of the game in the early fourth quarter. It would have been nice to see the former Heisman winner get more of the target pie with such a low volume of pass attempts, but this was a week we can move on from because of the heavy Barkley reliance. Smith will still be considered a WR2 when the Eagles take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
