Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Stefon Diggs

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs made an enormous impression with his 10 catches and 146 yards on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver was able to get revenge on his old team, the Buffalo Bills, while turning in the best game yet with his new team. The 31-year-old has been everything the Patriots could have asked for (and more), making a variety of toe-drag plays and catches while being covered by a defender. He has 16 catches and 247 yards over his last two games, putting him firmly in the mid-range WR2 mix for Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.
