Evans (suspension) had eight receptions on 10 targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-31 loss to Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Evans looked rejuvenated after being forced to miss last week's narrow loss to Green Bay due to a one-game suspension. Both he and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were tied for the team lead with 10 targets, but it was Evans who was Tom Brady's preferred downfield and red-zone target. The duo even went for a third touchdown on a goal-line fade late in the contest, but the play was defended well by L'Jarius Sneed. Evans bolstered his season line to 16/235/3 heading into a divisional matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Evans' suspension was lifted Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans' one-game suspension was upheld following an appeal, so he sat out the team's Week 3 loss to the Packers for his altercation with the Saints' Marshon Lattimore in Week 2. The veteran wideout's return should be a welcome sight for Tom Brady, who struggled against Green Bay without his top three pass catchers. Evans has caught eight of 11 targets for 132 yards and a score through his first two appearances of the season.

The NFL upheld Evans' one-game suspension Wednesday, with the receiver set to serve the ban Sunday against the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was handed the suspension as a result of his Week 2 altercation with the Saints' Marshon Lattimore, and after an unsuccessful appeal, the four-time Pro Bowler will be sidelined for Week 3. The Buccaneers could also be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) this weekend, prompting the team to sign Cole Beasley to the practice squad to provide depth behind Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Kaylon Geiger.

The NFL will alert Evans, who's appealing a one-game suspension, of its decision Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was suspended one game for his involvement in Sunday's altercation with Marshon Lattimore, but he appealed his one-game suspension Tuesday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the decision won't come until Wednesday, meaning you'll may have to submit free agent claims without knowing Evans' status for Week 3. Tampa Bay could also be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), so Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller could all be in store for increased roles against the Packers on Sunday. The Buccaneers also signed Cole Beasley to their practice squad Tuesday and could promote him to the active roster if Evans, Godwin and/or Jones is sidelined.

Evans will have his appeal of a one-game suspension heard Tuesday by jointly appointed NFL and NFLPA appeals officer James Thrash, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

An official decision on Evans' appeal should be announced later Tuesday or Wednesday, giving fantasy managers clarity on the wideout's status heading into Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Evans, who had been nursing a calf injury in advance of the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Saints, was ejected early in the fourth quarter of the contest when he came off the sideline to push New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore. In addition to Evans' potential absence Week 3, the Buccaneers could also be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), both of whom sat out against the Saints. If none of the Bucs' top three wideouts are available against Green Bay, Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller could all be in store for added snaps and targets. Tampa Bay also signed veteran slot man Cole Beasley to its practice squad Tuesday and could promote him to the active roster if another body is needed at receiver Sunday.

Evans has been suspended one game as a result of his role in a multi-player brawl for which he was ejected from Sunday's 20-10 win over the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans is the only suspension to result from Sunday's events, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, though more fines still could be handed out. Back in 2017, a similar scenario played out that saw Evans receive a one-game suspension due to a conflict with Marshon Lattimore, who also was involved in Sunday's fracas. Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) both sat out Sunday's win due to injuries, so Tampa Bay's receiving corps may be significantly depleted versus Green Bay in Week 3. Evans can appeal the suspension.

Evans secured three of four targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday. He was ejected from the game with 12:55 remaining for his role in a multi-player brawl, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans managed a team-leading receiving yardage tally before his unceremonious exit, showing no apparent ill effects from the calf injury that had limited him during the past week. However, the veteran's ejection, which came after he ran off the sideline to shove the Saints' Marshon Lattimore down while he was scuffling with several of his teammates, could have been costly, as the game was tied 3-3 at the time. Tampa Bay was able to escape with a 10-point win, while Evans will look to raise his production at the expense of a tough Packers defense in a Week 3 home showdown next Sunday.

Evans (calf) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was one of five Buccaneers receivers who took an injury designation into the weekend, but only Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) ended up on the inactive list. Since he managed only two limited practices this week, Evans' reps could be capped to some extent, though no reports have indicated as much. Even if Evans is a full go for Sunday's contest, he'll still likely find himself covered most of the afternoon by cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who limited the wideout to three receptions for 62 yards in their two matchups in 2021.

The Buccaneers have been optimistic about Evans' (calf) chances to play in Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans is officially listed as questionable after failing to log a full practice all week. The same goes for Russell Gage (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), while Chris Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 2. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Buccaneers kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, so there'll be plenty of replacement options if one of the aforementioned wideouts joins Godwin on the sidelines. Given Fowler's comments, it doesn't appear like Evans will be among that list, but nothing is certain yet. The veteran wideout led Tampa Bay with five catches on seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during the season opener. However, if available, Evans will have a tough matchup Sunday against Marshon Lattimore, who held the wideout to just three catches for 62 yards across two games last year.

Evans (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The same goes for Russell Gage (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), while Chris Godwin (hamstring has been ruled out). Gage, Jones and Evans all had slightly different practice routines throughout the week, but each of the three was a limited participant Friday to finish things out. The good news for fantasy managers interested in any of them is that the Bucs and Saints kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, with inactives due at 11:30. Evans doesn't seem especially likely to be on that list, but it needs to be watched closely given all the high-profile players listed as questionable.
