Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. He's likely headed to be a game-time decision to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday for Week 2. Evans was ruled out for the late afternoon game on Sunday due to his nagging hamstring injury.
Mike Evans limited in practice, fantasy status still unclear
Mike Evans is still not 100 percent. We break down the fantasy implications.

The Bucs missed Evans in a bad way agains the Tennessee Titans, who were a horrible defense in 2014. Quarterback Jameis Winston could not get the ball down the field to receiver Vincent Jackson, who had just 51 yards on four catches.
On the bright side, the Saints pass defense isn't great or anything. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer lit them up for 307 passing yards and three scores. Their pass rush also didn't look good and didn't sack Palmer with just one QB hit, as well.
Fantasy impact: Evans’ owners shouldn’t panic yet. We’ll need some more info on his status heading into Week 2, but he’s spacing up to be a decent WR2.
