Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Tyreek Hill

Monday, October 20, 6:29 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is officially active for the Monday night contest against the Detroit Lions in Week 7, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Evans came into Monday's contest with a questionable tag, but he will officially return after straining his left hamstring back in Week 3. Additionally, Tampa will have impressive rookie first-round wideout Emeka Egbuka on the field after he strained his hamstring in the Week 6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Chris Godwin (leg) and running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) will be out. Evans and Egbuka should be quarterback Baker Mayfield's top target in the passing game in what could easily be a shootout under the lights. Still, there's also a chance that Evans doesn't play his usual number of offensive snaps, given his long layoff. Still, Evans should be in starting fantasy lineups in redraft leagues now that he's cleared.

According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, "league sources expect the (Miami) Dolphins to release (wide receiver Tyreek) Hill (knee) before the start of the next league year in March 2026." Hill suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 4 and is expected to miss the remainder of 2025. He's reportedly working towards being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, but it appears he'll be suiting up outside of Miami to do so. The 31-year-old has recorded over 11,000 receiving yards and 90 total touchdowns across his 10-year NFL career to this point. It remains to be seen how effective he will be coming off a serious knee injury.
