Mike Evans News
Monday, November 9, 3:15 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) is unlikely to practice on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Evans has missed the last two games with Achilles soreness and several broken ribs, and he is trending towards missing a third straight contest in Week 10 on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers got by with another win in Week 9 on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders without Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), and their top priority is to have Evans healthy and in top form for the end of the season and the start of the playoffs in January. The 33-year-old Hall of Famer has been reliable for fantasy managers in his six games played so far in 2026, but more patience will probably be required before we see him on the field again. Evans has 27 receptions for 420 yards and three touchdowns. If he does not play this Sunday against Dallas, his next chance to return will be for a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Sunday that Evans is "questionable at best" to play this weekend against the Cowboys.

Josh Downs News
Tuesday, November 10, 10:53 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is set to join the Kansas City Chiefs in a deadline trade, according to Tom Pelissero. Indianapolis would send a 2027 seventh-round pick with Downs and receive fourth- and fifth-round picks in the same draft. Downs requested a trade in October and caught 33 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown in nine games this season. His season-high seven catches came against Kansas City in Week 2, when he finished with 72 yards. Downs has primarily played in the slot, and Kansas City has been rotating its third receiver behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Andrew Armstrong, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen played between 19 and 22 offensive snaps apiece in Sunday's win over the Jets. They drew three targets combined, while Rice and Worthy drew 13. Downs saw 23 targets in his last four games with the Colts. In deeper PPR leagues, he's worth stashing until his first games in Kansas City show whether he can earn regular routes alongside Rice and Worthy in three-receiver sets.
