Fantasy football managers face significant lineup decisions for Week 9 as two prominent wide receivers are unlikely to suit up. Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Mike Evans and San Francisco 49ers' Deebo Samuel are both listed as unlikely to play due to injuries.
Evans sustained an injury during the Buccaneers' game against the Washington Commanders on October 19, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, leaving the field in the second quarter. Samuel's injury status stems from a separate issue.
The news, reported on November 5, 2026, complicates fantasy rosters as both players are key contributors. Managers should monitor official injury reports throughout the week for any changes.
