ESPN Bucs reporter Jenna Laine considers Antone Smith "more likely to get looks" as the lead member of Tampa Bay's Week 9 backfield committee.
Laine admits this will be a fluid situation, but Smith has a history with coach Dirk Koetter from their days together in Atlanta. And Smith's 4.33 speed figures to get him at least all or most of the pass-game looks. Peyton Barber is built better to run between the tackles, but Smith is likely to get the "start" and handle 10-15 touches.

Coach Rex Ryan expects LeSean McCoy (hamstring) to play Monday night against Seattle.
"I feel like he's really close," Ryan said. "Hopefully. I'm thinking he's going." Rex added McCoy will have a full workload if active.

Mike Evans is in the NFL's concussion protocol.
That's the bad news after Evans came up woozy late in Thursday night's loss to Atlanta. The good news is he is expected to practice on Monday, and should have a good shot at playing in Week 10 with the Bucs on a long week.

LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is practicing Saturday.
McCoy will likely be listed as questionable on the final report, but there is not much doubt about his availability for Monday night after getting in three practices this week

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Carlos Hyde (shoulder) is out for Week 9 against the Saints.
DuJuan Harris will draw the start in his place. Hyde returned to practice this week but wasn't cleared for contact work.

Re: Fantasy Football Week 9
