Per Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, Evans said his hamstring is now "100 percent" and that he hopes the Buccaneers will let him play on Sunday vs. the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Spin: It’s unclear as to why a team would keep a player out of action if he’s 100 percent, but it can at least be concluded that Evans’ health is trending in a positive direction. Evans returned to practice at a limited capacity on Wednesday, which also bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Week 2.
It’s hard to imagine that the Buccaneers would keep their best receiver sidelined when he feels great, especially when the looming matchup is an NFC South rival. Should Evans play, he is a WR1 that fantasy owners should have no hesitation starting against the Saints’ porous secondary.
