Huddle Up: Evans projects as a WR for the 49ers when healthy, but the soft tissue injuries continue to pile up. Fantasy players should monitor his health this preseason and make sure to have a backup plan for the regular season in case more issues arise.

Huddle Up: The team isn't interested in getting Evans on the field for preseason games, as they know what he is able to do. They're more interesting in getting Evans ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 10 against the Los Angeles Rams in the game Down Under in Melbourne, Australia. Evans will turn 33 years old on Aug. 21, but even at this advanced age for the NFL, he should again be productive for fantasy managers. Target him as a low-end WR2 or flex fantasy option, and hope he can continue to defy Father Time with his new organization. Make sure to have alternate options on hand, however, just in case.

Huddle Up: The 49ers will likely take their time with Evans because he is a veteran, so fantasy players should keep an eye on his status over the next few weeks. He will be the main receiver for the 49ers when he is ready to play and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Evans will likely receive plenty of time to recover since it is early in training camp, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. He will be the top receiver for the 49ers this season and can be at least a No.3 receiver in fantasy leagues if healthy.

Huddle Up: Injuries derailed Evans last season, but he has been the model of consistency for most of his career. He should slide right into a major role in the San Francisco offense and can be targeted as a WR3 with WR2 upside.

Huddle Up: Evans joins the 49ers and could be their WR1 to start the season. With an injury to George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk expected to depart, Evans should see a healthy amount of targets in their scheme to start the season. He can be a WR2 in lineups or even a high-end flex.

Huddle Up: Evans could be projected as the WR1 for the 49ers heading into training camp. If he goes into the season as one he could be a WR3 or flex option with flashes of WR2 weeks.

Huddle Up: Evans snapped an 11-season streak with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 due to injuries that limited him to just eight games. A model of consistency throughout his long career, Evans is expected to sign with the San Francisco 49ers as he enters his age-33 season in 2026. He'll be a featured target in that 49ers offense and should be a low-end fantasy WR2 who posts a handful of WR1 weeks throughout the season.
