Bowles says Chris Godwin is trending on playing Sunday vs. Rams.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard

Great news for fantasy managers, but we'd try to wait on starting him for another week, wherever possible. He could potentially be on a type of "snap count", which would keep him closer to the WR3/4 fringe than his typical WR2 role. He should be a much better Flex play moving forward.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said both Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin are out for Sunday.

With Irving and Godwin out, we should expect White to be a fringe RB2/3 once again, Tucker a desperation FLEX/RB4 play, with Tez Johnson as a WR3. Egbuka is still a strong WR1 play.

Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin Jr. were practicing again for the #Bucs.

No Ben Bredeson or Haason Reddick.

We would assume the two would be in a limited role if Irving or Godwin do play this weekend, which would make White a fringe RB2/3 once again, with Tez Johnson as a WR3.

We'll know more after Friday's practice as to how much Irving/Godwin will be able to play in Week 11.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that RB Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) and WR Chris Godwin (fibula) will be out for Sunday’s game vs the Saints.

The Bucs’ bye is next week.

We should assume that all the players' roles from Week 7 should remain intact here in Week 8. That puts White in low-end RB1 consideration and Egbuka as a WR1, while Shepard and Johnson can be considered WR4-types in this big bye week.

Bucs WR Mike Evans suffered a broken collarbone and is out for most of the year, coach Todd Bowles announced. Absolutely brutal.

There is no official timeline yet for Evans, but by "most of the year" we have to assume if Evans can come back it would be for a Bucs deep playoff run. As far as the rest of the season goes, Egbuka should take over as the team's WR1 but is dealing with a hamstring issue. Godwin has been out as well, leaving Shepard and the Johnsons as next up. If Godwin remains out, Shepard and Tez should fall in line behind Egbuka. However, Otton could be a sneaky play going forward as well. He was targeted nine times and finished with a 7-65-0 line on Monday night.

Bucs receiver Mike Evans did not practice today, but that’s part of his weekly routine and doesn’t represent any kind of setback with his hamstring. Still tracking well for Monday.

This is no guarantee that Evans will be ready for Week 7, but it sure would put a damper on some of the waiver claims for Shepard and the Johnsons earlier this week. Regardless, this would be a nice boost for Baker Mayfield, and would have Evans managers feeling better for a healthy second half of the season.

Mike Evans is expected to return to practice today for the Bucs.

Good news for the Bucs: The hope is Mike Evans, Benjamin Morrison and Zyon McCollum can return to practice this week.

The return of Evans would be a nice boost to the Bucs offense. The team next plays on Monday night against the Lions so Evans' owners will need to hope he isn't a game-time call. Egbuka is likely going to miss Week 7 with a hamstring injury and Godwin has already been ruled out leaving Shepard and Tez and Kam Johnson to be the other WRs. It very well could be a high-scoring affair next Monday against the Lions.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) and Chris Godwin (fibula) are “not in play” for next Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions.

It's disappointing news but it's at least nice to know heading into waivers this week and when the time comes to set your lineup. The hope for Irving is he's back for Week 8, but the Bucs do have a bye in Week 9, so that could also be a factor in any decisions. Neither Godwin or Irving were placed on IR, so the hope is both are back inside of four weeks. The Bucs hope Evans can play this week, but Egbuka is likely out with a hamstring issue. White will get a majority of the touches at RB with Irving out and Tucker will get a share as well - as the Bucs continue to shuffle guys in and out of their lineup.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will miss time with a hamstring injury.

Egbuka will get an MRI today. Rapoport said the injury doesn't seem as serious as Evans' hamstring injury, but it's looking like he's going to at least miss this week's game against the Lions. The Bucs then play the Saints before their Week 9 bye, so it's very possible we don't see Egbuka until Week 10. Rapoport said Evans is getting closer to a return and Godwin is week to week. Anyone on the Bucs who plays the WR position could be in play for fantasy lineups, at least for Week 7. It was Kam Johnson and Tez Johnson who both stood out with TD catches against the 49ers.
