The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Mike Evans.
Is Mike Evans Playing in Week 17?
Evans is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Evans in Week 17?
The Dolphins haven’t held a WR1 under his season average since limiting Zay Flowers back in Week 9, and Evans appears to be near full strength with 21 targets earned on 52 routes over his past two games.
He turned nine looks into just 31 yards last weekend in Carolina, but I think you take the volume and move on. The touchdown came on a one-yard fade, and he’s of the Davante Adams school of WR vultures, and I’m not sold Miami can slow him (31 red zone TDs allowed, ninth most).
