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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to operate as an every-down receiver, logging 86% of the team's snaps in Week 6. Despite the playing time, Coleman has failed to eclipse 50 receiving yards in any game since their Week 1 matchup with the Ravens. With his target share limited, Coleman has become tough to trust on an offense that has spread the ball around in the passing game and leaned heavily on their rushing attack. With Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) out and Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable, Coleman could see a rise in targets, but will need to show some consistency before jumping back into a fantasy lineup. Continue to proceed cautiously with the young receiver.
