Fantasy Impact:

With three games left, Injured Reserve makes sense, Rapoport went on to say. Godwin should be able to return for the playoffs, which obviously is most important the tweet pointed out. Brown's return to the team is coming at a key time as he could be the team's top receiving target. Evans' hamstring injury is not as serious but his status for Week 16 is still up in the air. The Bucs have an early Sunday game in Week 16 at Carolina.

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.
