Mike Evans A Risky Start Amid Injury Concerns

Saturday, October 3, 12:06 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 4 and is considered a game-time decision, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Evans took a hard shot to the body on his first target of the game last Sunday and was eventually removed from the game later in the first half after clutching at his side in obvious pain following a broken pass play. Evans missed the 49ers' first two practices of the week but was a limited participant on Friday. If Evans is forced to sit, the offense will have greater focus on George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, with wide receivers Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watkins, and Jacob Cowing seeing potential boosts as well. Assuming he is active, Evans is projected as a back-end WR3 playing hurt and with a potential matchup against Pat Surtain. Fantasy managers may want to avoid the risk and find an alternative for Week 4.

DJ Moore Off Injury Report Ahead of Week 4

Friday, October 2, 11:26 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) is off the injury report and will not carry a game designation into Sunday's matchup with New England. Moore was limited Wednesday and Thursday in a non-contact jersey, so this is a meaningful step after another week of managing the shoulder. The injury knocked him out late in the second quarter against Detroit in Week 2, but it didn't keep his role down when he returned against the Chargers. Moore saw 10 targets in that game, catching six for 67 yards. He has 11 receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown through three games, with Week 2 cutting one outing short. RotoBaller lists him at WR22 for Week 4. There is still some risk that the shoulder gets aggravated again, but Buffalo's final designation gives fantasy managers no reason to expect him to sit Sunday.
