Mike Evans Misses Practice, Dealing With Two Injuries

Wednesday, December 4, 5:28 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (calf, hamstring) was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday with both calf and hamstring injuries. A right-hamstring injury kept Evans sidelined from Weeks 8-10, but he's now also listed with a calf ailment. The 31-year-old still has two days left to get back on the practice field, but for now we will be closely monitoring his status as the team prepares to battle the visiting Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday in Week 14. If Evans is seriously in danger of missing this weekend, Sterling Shepard, rookie Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer would likely operate as the team's three starting wideouts. Tight end Cade Otton was a fantasy beast in the weeks that Evans was sidelined with his hamstring injury, so he'd most likely benefit the most if Evans misses another game. Evans is a must-start fantasy wideout if he's active, especially against Vegas.

Marquise Brown Close To Being Cleared, Should Play Within 3-4 Weeks

Sunday, December 1, 8:17 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) has an appointment with his surgeon in Week 15 to get final clearance to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Assuming he is cleared, Brown will return to the field in either Week 16 or Week 17, making his long-awaited season debut and Chiefs debut. The 27-year-old would presumably slot as the Chiefs' No. 3 receiver behind Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins, but Brown's big-play ability and potential rapport with Patrick Mahomes could give him some low-end fantasy value over the last few weeks of the season. Last year in Arizona, Brown contributed 51 catches, 574 yards, and four touchdowns over 14 games.
