Mike Evans (calf) expected to play for Bucs' Week 2 contest
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans (calf) is expected to play in the team's Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints.
What It Means:
The Bucs' receiver group is already pretty banged up, but Evans does appear to be the most likely to suit up against the Saints with Chris Godwin (hamstring) sidelined and Julio Jones (knee) trending downwards. Evans could be in for a big game as Brady's top target, even if he draws what has historically been a tough matchup for him against Saints corner Marshon Lattimore.
Evans has a $8,300 salary on FanDuel and is projected to score 13.4 fantasy points in this afternoon's game against the Saints.
