Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Keon Coleman

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.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is inactive on Sunday as a healthy scratch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11 because he missed a team meeting on Friday morning, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Until then, the Bills planned to play him, but their plans changed after Coleman missed the meeting. Buffalo will also be without tight end Dalton Kincaid after he injured his hamstring in last week's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old second-year wideout caught his third touchdown of the year in Week 10, but overall, Coleman has been a big disappointment for Buffalo and his fantasy managers in 2025 with 32 total catches for 330 yards and three scores in nine games played. With Coleman now out on Sunday, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Curtis Samuel should be Buffalo's top receivers, with tight end Dawson Knox also seeing a notable boost in target share.
