49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) expected to miss time

Jennifer Lee Chan on X

today · 8:04 AM EDT

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Mike Evans misses practice with rib and Achilles soreness; Christian Kirk returns

San Francisco on Thursday announced veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk is returning to practice.

Wide receiver Mike Evans was not scheduled to practice Thursday due to ribs and Achilles soreness, coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans’ managers need a Monday-night replacement plan. If he misses the game, Cooks could move into boom-bust, WR3/FLEX consideration, with Watkins and Cowing becoming options for very deep leagues. Kittle and McCaffrey would remain premium starts, with additional receiving opportunities available.

No setbacks for 49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs)

No setbacks for Mike Evans, and Shanahan believes "he'll be a little better next week" against the Seahawks with his ribs healing.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans played 59.1% of snaps against the Broncos and had eight targets, catching five passes for 76 yards. All in all, not a terrible fantasy performance. While it sounds like the team expects Evans' rib issue to improve week to week, it's a tough matchup against the Seahawks in Week 5.

49ers promote Brandin Cooks to active roster

49ers signed WR Brandin Cooks to the 53-man roster. They have brought WR Malik Turner back to the practice squad to take his place there.

Awaiting word on corresponding move but did not see WR KhaDarel Hodge (knee) during early open portion of practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks is likely not a standard-league waiver target, but his promotion puts him within striking distance of an immediate role. If Evans cannot play, San Francisco would be left distributing WR snaps behind Samuel among Watkins, Cowing, and Cooks, with Hodge potentially no longer on the roster. Cooks’ experience could help him earn routes quickly, making him a viable salary-saving DFS consideration and a name to monitor in exceptionally deep leagues. If Evans plays, Cooks will likely be limited to a rotational role, but there's also no telling how many snaps Evans will actually be tasked with.
