49ers WR Mike Evans dealing with rib strain

Sep 28, 2026

49ers WR Mike Evans, who left the game earlier, is dealing with a rib strain, source said. He’ll have a full evaluation tomorrow, but those can be painful.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans is officially day to day Rapoport said in follow-up post. It sounds like he could have a shot to play in Week 4, but as Rapoport noted, this can be a painful injury. We'll probably have to watch the injury report all week when it comes to Evans and his status. The Niners host the Broncos in the later window of Week 4.

Hafley: Dolphins RBs 'to have their roles'

On whether the Dolphins will operate with RB by committee without De'Von Achane, coach Jeff Hafley said: "They're all going to have their roles."

Related player: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Jarquez Hunter

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon will be a popular pickup this week in waivers, and at least for the short term could benefit the most in terms of workload. But this is looking like it's heading to a committee. Wright missed Week 3 with a stinger and foot injury and we don't yet know his status for Week 4. The team also has Hunter who was a prospect with the Rams before signing with the Dolphins practice squad. Hunter could jump right into action as the RB2 if Wright is out again this week. With all the injuries to RBs lately, it's worth taking a flier on any of the three.

Giants QB Jameis Winston will remain the starter

Jameis Winston is the Giants starting QB, coach John Harbaugh confirms again.

Related players: J.J. McCarthy

Fantasy Impact:

It's no surprise Winston will remain the starter for now. But there is a path for McCarthy to get his shot, it just depends on how the Giants season goes over the next few weeks. Winston will likely remain the starter if he can keep the Giants winning and hanging around a playoff spot. But Winston has not put up great numbers so far. He looked overwhelmed coming in for relief of Jaxson Dart in Week 2, and in Week 3 played in rain and wind. The Giants host the Cardinals in Week 4, and it may be game where Winston can get himself on track.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) to practice this week

Pro Football Talk

1 hour ago

Via multiple reporters, head coach Dan Quinn said in his Monday press conference that Jayden Daniels will practice this week as he comes back from a dislocated left elbow.

Related players: Marcus Mariota

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, it doesn’t necessarily sound like Daniels is on track to start, but the quarterback will travel to London with the team and get on the practice field before the Week 4 matchup against the Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Mariota is likely to start, but it's a good sign that Daniels is closer to getting back on the field, and it's perhaps an even better sign he made the trip overseas vs. staying back home.
