Mike Evans injury update: Questionable for Week 6 vs. Commanders (ribs/Achilles)

Mike Evans is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders and is shaping up as a game-time decision.

By Cole Hartwell

Mike Evans is listed as questionable for Monday’s contest against the Washington Commanders and is viewed as a game-time decision, according to RotoWire, citing Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Evans is dealing with ribs and Achilles injuries.

What happened

Evans was listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Commanders due to a rib injury and Achilles soreness. RotoWire, citing Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, reports that Evans is viewed as a game-time decision.

Context

Evans has 76.6 PPR points this season, with 34 targets, 24 receptions, 326 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns through five games. In Week 5, he had 26.3 PPR points on 10 targets, seven receptions, 113 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

Sleeper currently tags Evans as questionable with a rib injury, and his Week 6 projection is 16.4 PPR points.

Depth chart

Evans is the 49ers’ LWR1. Jacob Cowing is listed as RWR2 behind him, and he has 0.1 PPR points this season on five targets, one reception, and nine receiving yards. Brandin Cooks is listed as SWR3 and has 7.7 PPR points in two games.

Timeline

On Oct. 16, it was reported that Evans wouldn’t practice Thursday due to Achilles soreness and a rib injury, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News.

On Oct. 19, a previous report noted that Evans is questionable for the 49ers’ Week 6 game against the Commanders on Monday night.

What’s next

The 49ers host the Washington Commanders on Monday, October 19. Evans is listed as questionable for that game.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Evans is a game-time decision for Monday night, so fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready. If Evans is inactive, Jacob Cowing and Brandin Cooks would likely see more work. Cowing has just 0.1 PPR points this season and is not a recommended streamer. Cooks has 7.7 PPR points in two games and is a desperation flex at best. Jordan Watkins is another name on the depth chart but has just 8.0 PPR points in three games. If Evans plays, he is a must-start given his 26.3 PPR points in Week 5 and season totals of 76.6 PPR points.
