Evans: Camp injuries were not 'significant'
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- De’Zhaun Stribling is projected as the 49ers' starting slot receiver and No. 2 X-receiver, with potential to move into a full-time role if Mike Evans misses time; Evans’ Week 1 status is uncertain due to a quad strain and limited practice participation.
- Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker is a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Bengals, dealing with an undisclosed injury and unlikely to have significant fantasy impact as the third RB behind Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell.
- Browns may activate QB Taylen Green for Week 1 to utilize his rushing ability in select packages, potentially leading to Shedeur Sanders being a healthy scratch; Deshaun Watson remains the starting QB.
- Bengals WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins practiced and appear likely to play in Week 1 against the Buccaneers, with Chase considered a high-end WR1 and Higgins a WR2 with WR1 upside.
- Panthers TE Darren Waller practiced well and could play Week 1 against the Bears, offering potential fantasy value as a streaming tight end option in a thin position group.
