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

Mike Evans injury update: Limited in practice with ribs injury ahead of Week 5 vs. Seahawks

Mike Evans practiced on a limited basis Wednesday with a rib injury, per multiple reports, ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle.

By Cole Hartwell

Mike Evans was limited in Wednesday’s practice with a rib injury, according to RotoWire and Yahoo Sports. The 49ers receiver played through the injury in Week 4, catching five passes for 76 yards.

What happened

Evans was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday’s practice, via Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. He did not practice two times last week before limited work on Friday, per Yahoo Sports.

Context

Evans has 50.3 PPR points this season, with 24 targets, 17 receptions, 213 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns on 57% of snaps. He is the 49ers’ LWR1. In Week 4 he scored 12.6 PPR points on eight targets and five catches for 76 yards.

Deebo Samuel has 57.9 PPR points this season as the SWR2. Jacob Cowing is the RWR3 with 0.2 PPR points, and Jordan Watkins the RWR4 with 8.0 PPR points in two games. Demarcus Robinson has a Sleeper injury tag of IR (ankle) and 19.4 PPR points in two games.

Timeline

On Oct. 1, John Lynch said Evans would “make every attempt” to play in Week 4, per Fantasy Football Desk. Evans played that week.

What’s next

The 49ers play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 11. His Sleeper projection is 13.4 PPR points.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Evans remains on track to play despite the ribs, as he was limited rather than held out. Managers should monitor Friday’s practice report. If he suits up, he is a WR2 with upside against Seattle. If Evans misses, Deebo Samuel would see more targets, though he already has 17 on the year and 57.9 PPR points. Jacob Cowing has not produced (0.2 PPR points on 3 targets), so his value is limited. Evans’ projection of 13.4 PPR points is solid, but the rib issue adds risk.

Quick answers

Will Mike Evans play in Week 5?

His status is not yet official. He was limited in practice on Wednesday with a rib injury, but no game designation has been reported.

What is Mike Evans' injury status?

Ribs injury; he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
