TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver Mike Evans, losing a tandem responsible for 42 percent of the Bucs' scoring through the air and nearly 24 percent of their entire offense in 2016.
In a season when the Bucs' offense has struggled with big plays downfield, Evans' 40 catches for 532 receiving yards are a team high and still put him on pace for his fourth-consecutive 1,000-yard season. His four receiving touchdowns have also accounted for 28.5 percent of the Bucs' scoring in 2017.
