Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or DJ Moore

Wednesday, October 22, 7:47 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially placed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he broke his clavicle in Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Evans will be forced to miss at least four games while on IR, but his absence is expected to be much longer than that. However, he reportedly suffered a clean break of his collarbone and could return to the team in under eight weeks if his rehab goes well. Head coach Todd Bowles said it would be "touch and go" as to whether Evans will be able to get back on the field before the end of the regular season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and drop the future Hall of Famer in redraft leagues. It's a tough blow for Evans, who had just returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring strain. He will finish shy of 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (hip, groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session. The 28-year-old has missed multiple practices over the past few weeks while he manages a few lingering injuries, but it hasn't held him back on gamedays. Chicago is dealing with injuries to their top two wide receivers, with second-year wideout Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) also missing Wednesday's practice. Moore had his best game of the season in Week 9 at Cincinnati, catching four of six targets for 72 yards, while adding one carry for a 17-yard touchdown, in addition to throwing a two-yard touchdown to quarterback Caleb Williams. His status will be updated as the week goes along.
