Missed practice Friday (achilles). Fantasy football: Mike Evans misses practice again Friday (achilles); ruled out. Fantasy football impact and what to do.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 13, 2026 · Updated November 15, 2026

Mike Evans did not practise Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas. He missed all three practices this week with Achilles tendinitis.

Evans cannot play this week. He has averaged 14.6 half-PPR points over his last three games on a 27 per cent target share and 54 per cent of snaps. His absence opens up 7.7 targets a game, but the work will be spread across Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing. In Week 6, when Evans played just 40 per cent of snaps, Watkins saw 76 per cent of snaps and Cooks 52 per cent, though neither drew more than two targets.

Mike Evans

Evans has averaged 14.6 half-PPR points over his last three games on 7.7 targets a game with a 27 per cent target share and 54 per cent of snaps. He caught three of five targets for 94 yards in Week 6 against Washington for 10.9 half-PPR points on just 40 per cent of snaps. Over the season he is averaging 12.6 half-PPR points a game on 6.5 targets and 4.5 receptions.

Our models give him a Roundup Score of 68 out of 99, 23rd of 197 receivers, projecting 8.9 half-PPR points a game. His 55 per cent air yards share ranks 3rd of 189 receivers over his last three games. He is scoring 0.7 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts, so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. Dallas has allowed 29.0 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 6th most of 32.

What to do

• Bench Mike Evans this week, as he cannot play.

• Monitor the inactive list for Evans' status in future weeks, as the Achilles tendinitis is being managed cautiously.

• Avoid streaming Cooks, Watkins or Cowing in most leagues, as none has shown consistent target volume with Evans out.
