STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Evans' rib injury elevates Kittle, Samuel, and McCaffrey in 49ers receiving hierarchy.

Evans suffered a rib injury in the second quarter versus the Cardinals and was declared out for the game. Before exiting, Evans caught three of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown (12.4 points). If Evans misses time, managers should bump up both George Kittle and Deebo Samuel as priority targets in the route tree, and the receiving usage for running back Christian McCaffrey could increase, which would open the door for rookie running back Kaelon Black to see more carries.
