Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season produced crushing injuries for multiple NFC contenders, especially at the wide receiver position. San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk suffered a major knee injury and will reportedly miss the remainder of the season, while teammate Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia. On Monday, Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans left the team’s game against Baltimore with a hamstring injury and teammate Chris Godwin suffered a leg injury in the final minute. Like Aiyuk, Godwin could miss the rest of the season. Now, the 49ers and Buccaneers are seemingly thin at the position and lacking their top playmakers. Can both teams navigate tricky Week 8 home games against NFC foes? The Buccaneers (+2.5, 46) host the Falcons, while the 49ers (-4.5, 46.5) host the Cowboys.
