Newer update on Mike Evans: Stefon Diggs injury update: Questionable for Week 6 vs. 49ers (hamstring)

John Lynch: Mike Evans will make every attempt to play in Week 4

49ers GM says Evans is 'old school' and doesn't want to miss time despite rib injury.

By Cole Hartwell

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with a rib injury, but general manager John Lynch indicated the veteran will do everything he can to suit up in Week 4.

What happened

Lynch discussed Evans’ status on KNBR, saying the wideout is “old school in his mindset and he doesn’t want to miss.” He added, “Mike will make every attempt and we’ll see where that goes.”

Evans is officially listed as questionable with a rib injury, according to Sleeper data. He is the team’s LWR1 on the depth chart.

Context

Evans, 33, is in his 12th NFL season. He has been a focal point of the 49ers’ passing attack and holds the top spot on the depth chart.

What’s next

The 49ers play in Week 4, but the exact date and opponent are not specified in the available information. Evans’ availability will likely be determined closer to kickoff.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Evans is a risky fantasy start this week given his questionable tag. Managers should monitor his status and have a backup ready. If he is active, he remains a high-upside option, but his effectiveness could be limited by the rib issue. If he misses, the 49ers’ other receivers would see increased targets, though none are named in the available data. In deeper leagues, consider adding a 49ers wideout as insurance if you roster Evans.
