Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or DK Metcalf

Friday, September 26, 2:12 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have updated their injury report, and All-Pro receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is one of only two players to be officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 4 matchup with the Eagles. This comes as no surprise, as Evans is expected to miss multiple weeks after an MRI on Tuesday revealed a mild to moderate strain of his left hamstring. Evans missed three games last season with an injury to his right hamstring and has a history of soft tissue issues. While Chris Godwin (ankle) is currently listed as questionable, it would be a surprise to see him handle a full allotment of snaps in his first game back from the devastating ankle injury that ended his 2024 season. Rookie Emeka Egbuka is in line to pace the team in targets against the defending champs and is a must-start this week.

An 80-yard touchdown catch set up Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for a nice fantasy performance Sunday against Minnesota, as he concluded his day with five catches for 126 yards and the aforementioned touchdown in a 24-21 win. The first-year Steeler drew only five targets, one fewer than running back Kenneth Gainwell, but did maximum damage with them, including the long touchdown in which he outran the Minnesota secondary. As Pittsburgh's top receiver, Metcalf should continue to be a solid fantasy WR2 after the Steelers' Week 5 bye.
