Buccaneers rookie RB Rachaad White saw season highs in total snaps (24) and snap share (38%) in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. That marked a big jump over his 15 combined snaps in the previous 2 games. White's Week 1 checked in closer only because he played most of the 4th quarter after Tampa got out to a big lead in Dallas and pulled Leonard Fournette. Game flow might have played a part. White got his 1st touch early in the 2nd quarter, but K.C. already had a 21-3 lead by then. He matched Fournette's 3 carries for the game, which saw the Bucs run on just 17.2% of offensive plays. White ran for a 1-yard TD but watched Fournette claim the 4th-quarter TD reception. We'll see whether White's increased playing time continues.

The Buccaneers got WR Mike Evans back from a 1-game suspension and WR Chris Godwin back from a Week 1 hamstring injury in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. Those 2 tied for the team lead with 10 targets apiece. Evans caught 8 for 103 yards and 2 scores. Godwin secured 7 catches for 59 yards. Tampa gets a soft Atlanta defense in Week 5.

Broncos EDGE Randy Gregory left Sunday's game with a right knee injury. Mike Klis of 9News reported that he was carrying crutches as he left the locker room after the game but not using them. We'll see about the severity of this injury.

Bucs WRs Russell Gage (hamstring), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and WR Julio Jones (knee) are active for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. They all figure to be operating at less than 100% – and it’s unclear exactly how snaps will be divvied behind WR Mike Evans. We’d try to avoid the 3 of them if possible, but Gage sits highest in the Week 4 WR Rankings. WR Breshad Perriman is inactive with his knee and hamstring injuries, while WR Scott Miller is a healthy scratch.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that the Bucs are "optimistic" that WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) will be able to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. "But Tampa Bay wants to test both pregame to make sure," Schefter adds. We won't get the Bucs' inactives until around 7 pm ET, and Godwin and Jones will both carry elevated risk if they are active. So we'd try to keep them on fantasy benches this week. This news makes WR Russell Gage a shakier Week 4 fantasy play but helps QB Tom Brady.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. HC Todd Bowles labeled Godwin a game-time decision on Friday. We'll look for further updates on his status, but he's probably better off on fantasy benches this week.

After returning to a limited practice on Wednesday, Bucs WR Chris Godwin did not practice on Thursday. He's now listed on the injury report with "hamstring" and "rest," so it looks like this was a planned day off. We'll see what Godwin does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He's now 17 days removed from that hamstring injury and evidently has a chance to play vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night. We'll get another update on Godwin's status tomorrow.

Dolphins RB Chase Edmonds delivered 2 goal line scores in Miami’s upset win over Buffalo. Week 3 didn’t exactly turn up huge yardage numbers, though. Edmonds posted 21 yards on 6 carries; Raheem Mostert tallied 8 carries for 11 yards. And this was against a short-handed Bills defense. Mostert also out-snapped Edmonds, although the numbers were close (24-19). This backfield figures to remain fluid for a Week 4 Thursday night game at Cincinnati.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Packers. He didn't practice all week and has no timetable for return.

Bucs WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) remained sidelined on Thursday. They're both looking unlikely to play vs. the Packers this weekend. WR Scotty Miller (calf) was a full-go on Thursday; WR Breshad Perriman (knee) was limited.

Bucs WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones seemingly has a better chance than Godwin to play vs. the Packers this weekend. But, with WR Mike Evans suspended, Tampa could be down to WRs Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller atop the depth chart.

The Bucs placed RB Gio Bernard (ankle) on IR, knocking him out for at least 4 games. He's been active the first 2 weeks but hasn't played a snap on offense. RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn figures to take over that role while Bernard is out. Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White are locked in as Tampa's top 2 RBs.

Bucs WR Mike Evans has been suspended 1 game for his role in Sunday's fight with the Saints, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Evans is considered a repeat offender after getting ejected from a game and suspended for fighting back in 2017. We'll see if Evans appeals this ruling, but fantasy owners need to plan on being without him in Week 3 for now. We'll see if WRs Julio Jones (knee) and/or Chris Godwin (hamstring) can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Packers. If not, the Bucs will be down to WRs Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller.

Bucs WR Mike Evans' "actions are being reviewed for a possible suspension," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Evans got in a brawl during the Week 2 win over the Saints and is considered a repeat offender after getting ejected and suspended back in 2017. We'll keep you updated on this situation.

Bucs WR Mike Evans and Saints CB Marshon Lattimore were ejected early in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game. These guys are unlikely to face further discipline, but we'll keep you updated. Evans finishes Week 2 with 3 catches on 4 targets for 61 yards.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He only got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday this week, although the calf issue is reportedly minor.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (calf) is expected to play vs. the Saints today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Evans only got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday this week, but this calf issue is reportedly minor. We'll get Tampa's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Evans can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now.,

Broncos EDGE Randy Gregory (shoulder, knee) and LB Josey Jewell (calf) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Texans. Gregory played through a questionable tag in Week 1, so we’d bet on him doing so again. Jewell missed Week 1. Alex Singleton worked as the lead LB in his absence and would carry tackle upside again if Jewell sits

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He's expected to miss a few weeks with this hamstring injury, so don't count on having him for Week 3.
