Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Mike Evans

Evans' Achilles soreness raises tear risk; likely rested before bye week.

Mike Evans had Achilles soreness going into last week and left the game early; there is concern about Achilles pathology increasing risk for a tear. Matthew Berry is nervous about his availability and expects the 49ers may rest him this week before their bye in week eight, especially given the team's Super Bowl aspirations. Evans doesn't practice but plays due to his veteran arrangement with the team, so lack of practice participation doesn't indicate status. If he plays, start him; if out, avoid other 49ers wide receivers.
