49ers Inactives

Hearing 49ers WR Mike Evans’ Achilles is in tact but he will miss a little time.

Chan added a potential return for Evans could be after the bye week, if things go according to plan. That means Evans will be out for Week 7's game at Atlanta. The team's bye is Week 8 so a possible Week 9 return is on the table at home against the Raiders. No other WR outside of Evans had more than one catch on Monday night. Evans had three for 94 yards before leaving and TE Kittle had a 5-69-1 line while RB McCaffrey caught a team-high nine balls for 53 yards. It could be more of the same gameplan in Week 7 with all the injuries the Niners have at WR. Watkins and Cooks could be the team's top-two against the Falcons but look to be risky fantasy plays.

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had to be carted off the field with an air cast on his left knee on Monday night and the image didn’t do much to conjure up hopes of a quick return to the field this season.

Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the team feared a “significant” injury after the game.

McLaurin will go for tests on Tuesday to determine just how significant it is, the story said. The story added Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team is bracing to learn that McLaurin will miss the rest of the season. With McLaurin out, Diggs could be the team's WR1 going forward. The rookie Williams should be more involved and Burks had six targets on MNF. TE Okonkwo has been inconsistent this season but is coming off a game on Monday where he had six targets, catching four for 66 yards.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans announced that WR Tank Dell is going to play Sunday vs. the Giants.

It will be his first game since December 2024 when he suffered a brutal knee injury. At the very least, this should be a feel-good moment for Dell, but in terms of fantasy we'll need to see what kind of role he will play. The Texans are a bit loaded at WR after trading for Harrison, but there could be a role for him as an WR3 at some point.
