 Mike Evans out with broken collarbone, concussion
Lost season for veteran receiver

|  | Mike Evans suffered a broken collarbone during Monday night's 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions, an injury that will sideline him for most of the remaining season, according to coach Todd Bowles. Evans, who also sustained a concussion, was carted to the locker room in the second quarter. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Evans had just returned from a hamstring injury that cost him three games. Now, he'll likely miss a big chuck of the remaining regular season. The Bucs are thin at the wideout position with Chris Godwin (ankle) still out. They'll move forward with Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard as their top three wideouts.
| Chris Godwin ruled Out for Week 6
Fibula injury

FFToday's Take: Godwin missed practice this week with a fibula injury, something unrelated to his ankle injury suffered last season. HC Todd Bowles said Godwin is "week-to-week" which doesn't sound good for his chances at playing in Week 7. The Bucs have a bye in Week 9. With Godwin out, the top three receivers should be Emeka Egbuka, Sterling Shepard and rookie Tez Johnson. This would also be a situation where TE Cade Otton could see increased targets.
| Mike Evans likely to miss a month
Suffered hamstring injury in Week 3

FFToday's Take: This is more of an update to Monday's report than breaking news. While it makes him a candidate for IR, it seems more likely the Bucs will pray for the most optimistic projection and hope to get him back by Week 7. In his absence, Emeka Egbuka becomes the unquestioned alpha for at least a couple of weeks, assuming Chris Godwin (ankle) can return in that time. Sterling Shepard is worth adding in most leagues and could be considered a viable flex option in deeper formats.
