Both are in WR2 territory with WR1 upside against the Bears. ( Ian Rapoport on Twitter)ДЇFToday's Take: We should see a little more usage for Tyler Johnson with AB out but the bulk of receiving work should go to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. #Bucs coach Bruce Arians ruled out several starters: TE Rob Gronkowski (ribs), WR Antonio Brown (ankle), LB Lavonte David (ankle), CB Richard Sherman (hamstring). With Antonio Brown out, and Mike Evans battling Marshon Lattimore, Gronk could be heavily involved in the passing game in Week 8 ( Ian Rapoport on Twitter)ДЇFToday's Take: It sounds like Gronk is on the good side of Questionable but we'll have to wait until pre-game warmups to know for sure. One source described optimism about his playing status, which would be a big lift for TB against the #Saints. #Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is considered a game-time decision after missing about a month, and heвЂ™ll likely work out pre-game to be sure. Simply put, they're loaded! But if you view Evans as the sort of Randy Moss of this offense, stretching the field on occasion and owning the red zone targets, he's still solidly in the WR1 discussion. That's going to limit some of Evans' considerable upside as a deep threat, and he's still going to be sharing targets with a whole host of talented pass-catchers in this offense.

It's important for owners to understand, however, that the Buccaneers attack is going to continue to look more and more like the possession game that Brady favors, featuring more short and intermediate routes and check down routes to the TE's and RB's. He ranked 7th in the NFL with 11.2 fantasy points per game, and it would seem to follow that he'd be better in 2021 with a year of Brady under his belt. So, if in a 'down' year, when everything is new, he gives you 70 catches for 1,000+ yards and 13 scores, that's still a win for fantasy owners. The one stat that was up was his touchdown total, a career-high 13. His catches (70) and 100-yard games (4) were only lower two other times in his seven-year NFL run. He barely surpassed the 1,000-yard mark (1,006) and averaged just 14.4 yards per catch, both the 2nd-worst of his career. His 109 targets and 62.9 receiving yards per game were the worst of his career.

Truth be told, most of Evans' numbers were down.
