Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury. With Chris Godwin also sidelined for the season, the Bucs are left with Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer, and Sterling Shepard as their primary receiving options. While McMillan is favored among the replacements, the situation is not ideal for fantasy lineups in Week 8.
  • Mike Evans' absence significantly impacts the Bucs' receiving corps.
  • The Bucs are down to inexperienced receivers, making them risky fantasy options.
