Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Garrett Wilson

Tuesday, November 25, 11:11 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) has been on Injured Reserve since late October after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7. Evans is now technically eligible to have his return window opened, but he is not expected to be active for Tampa Bay's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. However, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that Evans is on track to return before the end of the regular season. Across four games so far in 2025, the 32-year-old has recorded 14 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown on 30 targets. While the Buccaneers have a breakout star in rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, Evans should re-assume his role as the team's WR1 once he is able to return to the field. In fantasy leagues where Evans may have been dropped, managers may be wise to pick him up and stash him for a few weeks before he garners heavy attention on the waiver wire.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday that he expects wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) to play again this year, but Glenn also added that it's up to the doctors, according to Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News. Wilson missed several games with a knee injury before returning in the Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, only to aggravate his knee. The Jets placed the 25-year-old on Injured Reserve this week, so he'll be forced to miss at least the next three games following the team's Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots. He won't be eligible to play before Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Jaguars. With Wilson out for the foreseeable future, John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell figure to be featured as the team's top pass-catchers in what has been the worst passing offense in football this year. Fantasy managers stashing Wilson need to know that there's a chance he won't contribute again in 2025.
