Mike Evans News

Mike Evans remains out of Practice on Wednesday

Wednesday, November 11, 11:31 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Evans has not played since re-aggravating an existing Achilles injury during San Francisco's Week 6 win over the Washington Commanders. While his status for the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys has yet to be determined, it appears the veteran wide receiver could be trending toward a third straight missed game. Evans has been highly productive when on the field in 2026, recording 27 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets across six games. If he's inactive in Week 10, 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins could have an opportunity to build on his breakout Week 9 performance.

Rashod Bateman News

Rashod Bateman with Deep-League Appeal Only in Week 9

Wednesday, November 4, 10:46 AM

Baltimore wide receiver Rashod Bateman has a favorable matchup in Week 9 against Jacksonville, but a battered quarterback room has the wideout being just a deep-league fantasy option. Joe Fagnano will start for Baltimore, replacing the injured Lamar Jackson (finger) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe), and that alone brings Bateman's outlook down a bunch. Bateman has not been a very consistent performer anyways, and has combined for just 55 receiving yards on three receptions and seven targets over the past three games. He sits as WR74 in our RotoBaller Week 9 projections, giving him deep-league starting appeal only, and maybe even being skipped in those leagues if fantasy owners have other viable options.
