Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Justin Jefferson

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.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson should be viewed as a top-five option this week when taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland. The All-Pro put up a steady five catches for 75 yards a week ago in spite of the Vikings being ahead by so much in the second half against Cincinnati that they had little incentive to throw. With a more competitive game likely on tap this week, Jefferson turns his attention to a Steelers defense that has given up the seventh-most passing yards per game. Though Minnesota is playing with backup quarterback Carson Wentz, Jefferson has put up numbers with a variety of quarterbacks over the years, so his game-breaking talent should be locked into fantasy lineups, per usual.
