Mike Evans Pushing to Play in Week 4

Sunday, October 4, 6:35 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (rib) is "going to do everything he possibly can" to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Denver Broncos, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. With that being said, Evans is listed as questionable and remains a true game-time decision heading into Sunday afternoon. The veteran wide receiver will undergo a pregame workout to determine if he's capable of playing against the Broncos. San Francisco has dealt with wide receiver injuries left and right, as Evans joins a list that also features De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), Demarcus Robinson (ankle), and Ricky Pearsall (knee). If Evans can suit up Sunday, he'll look to improve upon his ranking as the WR26 in PPR leagues. That won't be easy, though, as the Broncos' secondary is led by star cornerback Patrick Surtain II. In the event that Evans is inactive, Deebo Samuel Sr. would operate as the 49ers' No. 1 receiver.

Courtland Sutton Remains a Risky Week 4 Flex

Saturday, October 3, 9:56 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has yet to get much going through the first three weeks. He has eight catches for 82 yards on 16 targets without a touchdown, although Week 3 brought at least a little progress. Sutton drew a season-high seven targets against the Rams and finished with three catches for 46 yards, both his best marks of the year. The bigger issue is where he now fits in Denver's passing game. Jaylen Waddle has already had a 10-target, 138-yard game, and Sutton is no longer operating as the clear top option he was in recent seasons. Denver also has been more balanced offensively under new play-caller Davis Webb. Sutton is healthy entering Sunday's trip to San Francisco, but RotoBaller has him at WR41 for Week 4. The seven targets last week keep him in the flex conversation, though fantasy managers should not treat him as an automatic starter until the production becomes more consistent.
