Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Ja'Marr Chase

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) underwent an MRI Wednesday that confirmed his "moderate" hamstring injury. According to the NFL's Ian Rapoport, Evans' diagnostic test affirmed the notion that he'd be sidelined until at least the team's Week 11 bye. It's a massive blow to Tampa Bay's offense, as they've also just lost fellow wideout Chris Godwin (ankle) for the remainder of the season after dislocating his ankle. With the Bucs down their top two pass-catchers, wide receivers Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepherd, and Trey Palmer project to line up in three wide receiver sets. Additionally, tight end Cade Otton and running back Rachaad White should continue to see an increased role in Tampa Bay's passing attack. The team will host the visiting Atlanta Falcons this coming Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase amassed 54 yards off a game-high nine catches in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tee Higgins (quadriceps) was sidelined for this one, resulting in Chase being targeted 11 times. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't good enough, with the Bengals ending Week 8 with a record of three wins and five losses. With that said, the former LSU Tiger now has seven touchdowns in the last six games. Keep him starting in week 9 against the visiting Raiders, although that goes without saying.
