Fantasy football managers should prepare for the potential absence of two prominent wide receivers in Week 9. Reports indicate that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans and fellow 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel are both listed as unlikely to play.

Evans left the field with an injury during the second quarter of the 49ers' game against the Washington Commanders at Levi's Stadium on October 19, 2026. Samuel's specific injury details were not disclosed, but he is also considered unlikely to feature in the upcoming week.

Fantasy owners are advised to monitor official injury reports and consider alternative options at the position.
