Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Keon Coleman

Friday, October 3, 12:42 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the second straight week in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Evans has not been able to practice since straining his left hamstring in Week 3, and he'll be missing his second straight game this weekend. With the future Hall of Famer out again, expect both rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, who will be playing in his second game this year, to be peppered with targets from quarterback Baker Mayfield again. Sterling Shepard will continue to see an elevated role with Evans out, but he'll merely be a low-upside WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues. The 32-year-old Evans will need to get back on the practice field at some point next week if he wants to have any chance of returning for a Week 6 tilt against the San Francisco 49ers.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said wide receiver Keon Coleman did not play in the team's first offensive series against the New England Patriots in Week 5 for disciplinary reasons. Per The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia, McDermott also said that the disciplinary action stemmed from an incident in practice, and that the Bills "expect more" from the second-year wideout. Coleman recorded four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 5. For the season, he's hauled in 21 catches for 226 yards and two scores on 29 targets. It doesn't seem as though this incident will impact Coleman's playing time going forward, but it's still not a good sign for the 22-year-old. He profiles as a fantasy WR3/flex option heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
