Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Both Out of Practice — 49ers WR Room in Trouble for Week 7

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel both won't practice Wednesday as the 49ers return from their Monday night win over the Commanders. The hope is Evans manages his Achilles tendonitis well enough to suit up against Atlanta in Week 7, but he's currently questionable. Samuel, dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out against Washington, remains out of practice entirely.

Mike Evans

Achilles tendonitis is the kind of nagging injury that can linger all season, so "managing" it week to week is a real concern for fantasy managers. The good news: the 49ers haven't ruled him out for Week 7, and the source story explicitly says the team hopes he plays against the Falcons. If you're in a PPR (points-per-reception) league and have a viable alternative, don't sweat-start him blind — check Thursday and Friday reports before committing. If he does play, a short-week plus a banged-up Achilles is a cap on his ceiling.

Deebo Samuel

Samuel didn't play against Washington and still isn't practicing, which makes him a strong fade for Week 7. The source story offers no hint of optimism about his return — no "he hopes to practice later this week" language like there is for Evans. Treat him as out until the injury report says otherwise. If both Evans and Samuel miss or are limited, the 49ers' pass-catching depth behind them becomes a legitimate waiver-wire conversation — though the source story doesn't name a specific beneficiary, so keep an eye on official practice reports later in the week before making any moves.
