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.

Terry McLaurin Likely to Miss Week 4 Game vs. Colts

Saturday, October 3, 7:05 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is reportedly likely to miss the Week 4 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts in London, according to Ben Standig, a Commanders reporter for Last Man Standig Substack. McLaurin showed up on the injury report late this week, as he logged a limited practice session on Friday due to a hamstring issue. He was officially designated as questionable heading into Sunday's game with the Colts. Additionally, the Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels in Week 4. Through three games in 2026, McLaurin has recorded 10 receptions (on 22 targets) for 141 yards (14.1 yards per catch) and a touchdown. If McLaurin is out, Washington will rely on Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks at wide receiver.
