Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will play for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans. He was not listed on the team's inactive report on Sunday morning. Evans practiced in full Wednesday through Friday and was never in any danger to miss time this week.
Mike Evans injury update: Buccaneers WR is active, will play for fantasy owners
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver is active for Week 3. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: Evans will look to rebound from his Week 2 goose egg. Houston does present a tougher matchup. The Texans' secondary gives up the seventh \-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. However, owners can safely expect a bounce-back performance relative to last week. The 2014 first round pick finished his rookie season with 68 receptions for 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns. Tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins will miss the next 4-6 weeks after injuring his shoulder in Week 2. Evans and Vincent Jackson project as the primary beneficiaries as his replacement Brandon Myers will play a limited role in the offense. Owners can fire up Evans as a WR2 with plenty of upside for more.
