Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans looks like a good bet to play in Week 1's game against the Tennessee Titans. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Evans "feels good and is optimistic about playing" for the regular season opener.
Mike Evans injury update: Fantasy owners should get Bucs WR for Week 1
There’s no official word yet, but it looks like Mike Evans will be active for the season opener. We break down the fantasy implications.

Evans missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned to the field and was a limited participant in Friday’s session. The general feeling about his status throughout the week has remained positive.
Fantasy impact: The Buccaneers don’t kick off until 4:25 p.m. ET, so owners should at least keep a second option in mind. He’ll test out how he feels in pregame warm-ups, but we’re expecting good news from the second-year receiver.
While owners might be concerned about his potential after missing practice this week, he’s facing a Titans secondary that’s dealing with some injuries. Assuming Evans is active and starting, he should be in your lineup. Keep an eye on his status this afternoon.
