Evans is dealing with an injury to his ribs and did not practice on Thursday, while logging two limited sessions during the week. He was able to play 38 snaps against the Seahawks and was not slowed down by his injury in any way. Evans leads the 49ers in receptions with 24 and receiving yards with 326 in 2026. He has also scored three touchdowns. Evans continues to be a must-start player in a San Francisco wide receiver room that is dealing with multiple injuries.

Oronde Gadsden Borderline TE2 in Week 5 vs. Broncos

Saturday, October 10, 8:37 AM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden could see more targets in his Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers officially ruled out wideout Quentin Johnston (chest), while wideout Ladd McConkey (foot) and tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) are questionable for the contest. If McConkey and Kolar can't suit up, Gadsden would likely become Justin Herbert's No. 2 target in the passing game. Gadsden enters Week 5 as RotoBaller's PPR TE26 in an intriguing matchup. The Broncos defense will be without its top 2 cornerbacks, Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss, and has allowed the 13th-most passing yards and the 14th-most passing touchdowns. However, Gadsden should still be viewed as a borderline TE2 in Week 5. Gadsden has had chances to assert himself in the Chargers' passing game while teammates battled injuries, but he hasn't been able to capitalize on the opportunity. He should remain out of lineups heading into Week 5.
