News: 1 hour agoThe hip injury Evans sustained in Sunday's win over the Dolphins "does not seem to be major," and the wideout has a "good chance" of practicing Thursday and/or Friday and playing this weekend against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Spin: Evans sat out Wednesday's practice, but his absence looks to have been more of a maintenance day. The 49ers could manage Evans' reps to some extent over their final two practices of the week, but assuming he's able to take the field in some capacity within the next day or two, the six-time Pro Bowler should be good to go for Sunday. Evans should be in line for a sizable target share after an already banged-up 49ers receiver corps lost another key member (Demarcus Robinson) to a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over Miami.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Evans signed with the 49ers after spending his first 12 NFL seasons with the Buccaneers. The future Hall of Famer famously opened his career with 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, but that streak ended when he missed nine games due to injury last season. Even when active, Evans wasn't his usual, productive self, delivering only one weekly fantasy finish better than 23rd and none better than 11th. Now 33 years old, Evans is past his prime, but he's in line for a decent chunk of the targets, especially near the goal line, in Kyle Shanahan's high-scoring offense. Evans is best valued as a touchdown-dependent WR3/flex with more value in non-PPR formats.
