Injuries continue to pile up in the NFL, and things got even worse on Monday night.

First, Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans re-aggravated a hamstring injury that had hampered him in practice all week. He caught a pass 25 yards in the first quarter that set up a touchdown, but he was injured shortly after trying to make another touchdown catch on another series.

The ESPN broadcast suggested he couldn’t even take off his shoes in the locker room without assistance, and I suspect he’ll miss next week’s game against the Falcons… and probably more.

Then the night got even worse.

In the fourth quarter, Chris Godwin caught a pass and surged forward. His lower left leg was rolled up by a Baltimore defender, and his ankle pointed backwards. He was carted off the field with an ankle dislocation, possibly in his last game of the season.

Heading into the game, Godwin was third among wideouts in fantasy points per game.

The losses of these two fantasy stars will be difficult to overcome, not only for fantasy fans but for Baker Mayfield as well. He’s one of the best quarterbacks in fantasy land, but losing his top two options in the passing game will almost certainly hurt his stats going forward.

While I hate talking about replacing Evans and Godwin in fantasy leagues after both were injured (more so the latter as his injury seemed to be season-ending), it’s part of the job.

Cade Oton, who had eight catches for 100 yards, gets a boost. If he’s on the waiver wire, add him. As for their wide receivers, I don’t see Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer or Sterling Shepard making a consistent fantasy impact. However, McMilan and Palmer will still be worthy of a waiver claim.

What I can see in the coming weeks, or at least until Evans returns, is offensive coordinator Liam Coen using his three running backs, Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, in more prominent roles. Since White is the best pass catcher of the trio, he could see a nice increase in targets and be used more often as a receiver in the offense.
