Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Elijah 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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a bit of a surprise that Moore is inactive with fellow wideout Keon Coleman benched for missing a team meeting on Friday. The Bills will also be without tight end Dalton Kincaid after he injured his hamstring in the Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. With both Coleman and Moore on the sideline, Buffalo will roll with Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer as their primary wideouts. Curtis Samuel, Gabe Davis, Mecole Hardman, and Tyrell Shavers will be battling for looks in the WR3 role, and tight end Dawson Knox should also see a noticeable boost in targets with Kincaid being out. The 25-year-old Moore has only eight catches on the year for 115 yards and no touchdowns in eight games.
