From the episode

Mike Evans is playing through cracked ribs. He did so last week. He ran his normal route share. He should be good to go... he leads all wide receivers and target share on third down. 46%. So they're targeting nearly half the time on third down... And then the rest of the time his target share drops to 13%.

STACKED’s take

NeutralInjury

Evans' cracked ribs limit him to high-leverage situations; 46% third-down target share vs. 13% otherwise.

Mike Evans is playing through cracked ribs and maintained his normal route share last week, suggesting he should be good to go for Week 5. However, his usage pattern reveals a concerning split: he leads all wide receivers in third-down target share at 46%, but his target share drops to just 13% on non-third-down plays, indicating the Buccaneers are limiting his exposure due to his injury status.
