Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans didn't have a great season opener, but was still able to contribute in the win. Evans hauled in five of his eight targets for 51 yards in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout finished with the team-high in receptions and targets. However, Evans saw his fantasy value take a dip with Emeka Egubka and Bucky Irving catching the three touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as Evans is one of the most consistent wideouts in the league. He should get the benefit of the doubt and remain on the WR1 radar for the upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (calf) finds himself on the Week 3 injury report after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Rookie Cam Skattebo is also on the report with an ankle injury, but he was a full-go on Wednesday and should be fine for Sunday night's tilt against a stiff Kansas City Chiefs defense. Tracy played 74% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Washington Commanders, but that number dropped to 42% in Sunday's overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys as he watched Skattebo take over the backfield and score his first career touchdown. The 25-year-old second-year back is being used as a returner on special teams now, too, which could signal that the Giants are already comfortable giving Skattebo a bigger role in the backfield. Now dealing with an injury, Tracy is quickly losing fantasy appeal and is shaping up as a shaky RB3/flex if he plays in Week 3.
