Gage, who was projected to fill the slot role for the Buccaneers as one of the big three with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, is squarely off the draft radar for 2023.
With the target distribution likely to be top-heavy anyway with Evans and Godwin commanding the majority of the offense’s WR target share, Gage’s injury does not warrant a bump for either other WR in the Bucs' offense – especially with one of Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask at QB.
Gage has been going undrafted in all formats besides the deepest leagues, but it’s a terrible development for a receiver who has been talented enough to deserve to be a featured player in an NFL offense. At just 27 years old, his dynasty stock remains intact, but it’ll be an uphill climb for him to return to fantasy relevance in 2024.
