Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans didn't have a great finish on Sunday and may have cost his team a win due to an knee injury. He was hurt on the last play of the game and couldn't get off the field, which caused a runoff on the clock and ended the game. It would appear he'll be on the field on Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: Mike Evans
Mike Evans was hurt on Sunday. Should you start him on a short week?

Evans has nine catches for just 86 yards on the season, which is a little surprising from a yards-per-catch standpoint. He had a 20.2 yards-per-catch- average last season at Texas A&M and the Bucs threw him plenty of deep balls in the preseason. He was able to catch all four his targets in Week 2 and probably has earned some more trust of quarterback Josh McCown.
The Falcons have some issues with rushing the passer, which should allow Evans to get some deep chances. He's a high-ceiling WR3 this week, but the short week probably knocks him out of consideration in 10-team leagues.
