ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) is expected to play against the Eagles today.  V-Jax has been sidelined since Week 7 but put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday.  Consider him a risk/reward WR3 in the plus matchup.  His return figures to cost WR Mike Evans a few targets, but he remains a high-end WR1.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) is not expected to play against the Eagles this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.  V-Jax remained sidelined on Wednesday and has no timetable for return.  WR Mike Evans has averaged 13.7 targets per game with Jackson out the last 3 games.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday.  Don't count on him returning for this weekend's game against the Cowboys.  That'll mean another heavy dose of targets for WR Mike Evans.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game against the Giants. He remains without a timetable for return. Rookie WR Donteea Dye gets another start, but WR Mike Evans will continue to dominate targets. 

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday.  NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported last week that V-Jax will miss "multiple weeks," so don't expect him to play against the Giants on Sunday.  That'll again leave Mike Evans as the clear-cut #1 WR.  Tampa Bay should get TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) back this week.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (knee) is not expected to play against the Falcons this weekend.  Rapoport adds that V-Jax's injury is not season-ending but will sideline him "multiple weeks."  His absence leaves Mike Evans and Donteea Dye as Tampa Bay's only healthy WRs.  They'll make roster moves this week, but Evans is going to soak up targets for as long as Jackson is out.

Following a game with at least 3 drops, Bucs WR Mike Evans vowed to improve. “We’ve got to be better, starting with me,’’ Evans said following a loss to Carolina. “I will be better. We [the Bucs] went 1-3 in this first quarter. Now we’ll come back and try to put a beating on Jacksonville before our bye week.’’ Evans will look for his 1^st TD of the season in that matchup. He caught just 3 of 8 targets on Sunday and watched as Vincent Jackson exploded for 10 grabs (15 targets) for 147 yards -- plus 1 score. There’s no reason to sell the talented Evans for pennies on the dollar, especially when you examine the ideal game script that the Tampa Bay defense is giving this passing game. Through 4 weeks, the Bucs have been outscored 38-6 in the 1^st quarter.

Bucs WR Mike Evans was limited to 40 snaps in his Week 2 debut.  But he'll be a full-go for this Sunday's game against the Texans.  “Yeah, I’m looking forward to it," Evans said. "I’ll be full go, no pitch count this time."  Despite last week's goose egg, he belongs in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Bucs TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a strained shoulder.  ASJ is getting a 2nd opinion, but it certainly sounds like he's looking at a multi-week absence.  It's a tough break for a guy who looked capable of a productive 2nd season, but durability has been a problem for him. TE Brandon Myers is next in line for Tampa Bay but won't be a fantasy factor.  Seferian-Jenkins' absence will mean more targets for WRs Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. 

Bucs WR Mike Evans confirmed after Sunday's game against the Saints that his snaps were limited.  "They had me on a pitch count, but I played more than I was supposed to," Evans said.  We don't have his official snap count yet, but we're guessing he played far less than half of the offensive plays.  Evans finished with a goose egg on 3 targets.  The good news is that he avoided a setback with that hamstring and should be ready for a bigger workload next Sunday.  Ideally, Evans will be a full participant in practice this week.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Saints. He put in 3 limited practices this week and declared that hammy 100% healthy. There’s still some risk here, but Evans’ talent and a crappy New Orleans secondary makes him a must-start.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) will play against the Saints today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.  Tampa played it safe with the stud WR all along, and Evans declared himself back to 100% earlier this week.  He's a must-start in a plum matchup vs. a shaky and banged-up New Orleans secondary.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) put in 3 limited practices this week. He’s listed as questionable, but insider Rick Stroud says to “lean heavily” toward Evans playing on Sunday. Evans felt capable of playing last week and declared the hamstring 100% earlier this week. There’s still some risk here, but the matchup makes him a must-start in season-long leagues.

Bucs WR Mike Evans said Thursday that his hamstring is "100%."  It sounds like he's set to make his 2015 debut this weekend against the Saints.  That matchup puts Evans right back into WR1 territory, despite the risk of an in-game aggravation.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.  He was also limited last Friday, so it doesn't necessarily mean that he's made progress.  We'll see if Evans can graduate to a full practice on Thursday or Friday.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game against the Titans. WR Louis Murphy is expected to replace Evans in the starting lineup but is a weak fantasy option. WR Vincent Jackson figures to dominate targets. TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins should also get a volume boost.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen hears that Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) could be limited today, assuming he's active.  Bucs-Titans is expected to be played in the rain, which doesn't help Evans on a bum hamstring.  We won't find out whether he's active until 3 pm ET, and he'll be a risky fantasy start if he is.  Evans is best off on fantasy benches this week if you have another viable option.

According to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, Bucs WR Mike Evans' chances look good for Sunday. "Seems more likely than not for Evans, who was optimistic after today's walkthrough," Auman tweeted. Evans is officially questionable with the hamstring issue that cost him most of the preseason, and he's expected to be a game-time decision. The 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff will make him hard to wait on unless you have another late option as insurance. Players for the Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, Falcons, Niners and Vikings can serve as fall backs, with all of those teams playing Sunday night or Monday night. We'll watch for any Evans updates earlier Sunday.
