Mike Evans News
Saturday, September 19, 8:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is trending up in fantasy football as injuries impact other members of the position group. Evans was impressive in his Niners debut last week, catching six of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. He didn't have the highest participation rates we've ever seen, but they were respectable. Additionally, rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) was placed on injured reserve this week. It will be interesting to see how much of the Stribling work gets re-allocated to Evans versus others, as we haven't heard any rumblings about the Niners bringing in a different depth receiver for Week 2. In full, Evans ranks as the WR11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings, making him a worthwhile fantasy starter for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins.

Rome Odunze News
Friday, September 18, 10:25 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is set to resume his typical role in the team's offense when they line up for a divisional bout with the visiting Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Odunze dealt with a calf issue for a week or so leading up to Chicago's road opener against Carolina. He was active - despite three straight limited practice sessions - but ranked third regarding snap counts (49%) at his position and hauled in just two-of-three targets for 52 yards. Uninspiring debut aside, the third-year wideout projects as, at worst, a 1B option in Chicago's receiving corps alongside teammate Luther Burden III. More importantly, quarterback Caleb Williams looked improved, even if it was a small sample. Minnesota's defense poses a threat, but Chicago's attack will be difficult to stop if it's firing on all cylinders. Odunze is RotoBaller's PPR WR35 and should continue trending up the further removed he is from an early-season soft-tissue issue.
