Mike Evans: Hamstring
After hamstring strains, the reinjury rate is high. Additionally the Stud and Dud rates are essentially equal and with a relatively low 18% Week Winner rate. In other words, WRs in their first week back from this injury are defined as boom or bust with a slightly higher emphasis on the bust.
Evans in particular is in his 30’s and has been dealing with this issue for years. Given the fact that he took a full month to get right, the hope is that he can resume catching touchdowns immediately. However he shouldn’t be in any cash game lineups.
Projected Return: Week 12
Malik Nabers: Groin
Nabers has been limited this week with a groin strain - but he has said he’ll play. Obviously though its important to remember that the Giants will likely step in if he isn’t quite right given the fact that they have nothing to play for.
The long and the short of it is to ensure he’s active before setting and forgetting. Understand that he’s moderately volatile as well if and when he’s active.
Projected Return: Week 12/TBD
George Kittle
Kittle has been dealing with these soft tissue injuries a while. You may as well start him everywhere given the fact that his re-injury volatility is baked into the position overall. Ya either get a touchdown or 5 points from mostly every other TE. Just start Kittle and at least you have a chance at another TD.
Projected Return: Week 12
