The 49ers received encouraging injury updates on Christian McCaffrey and Nick Bosa, while Kyle Shanahan addressed Mike Evans, Christian Kirk and Mykel Williams.

Some QB-WR stacks that could win fantasy football leagues and are accessible to fantasy managers no matter what pick they have.

Klay Kubiak and George Kittle share high praise for Mike Evans and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling as both receivers make strong impressions.

The consistency of Mike Evans is what drives receivers like Ja'Marr Chase every season.
