San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Saturday, Aug. 8, but he was able to work on the side. Evans reportedly appears close to full strength, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans likely feels like he can return right now, but the team wants to be smart with the veteran receiver.
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.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5.
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.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of strained quadriceps.
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.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans was "unstoppable in red zone drills" during OTAs, according to TE George Kittle.
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.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans is considered an "alpha type of player" for the team, according to offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak.
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.

Updating a previous report, impending free-agent WR Mike Evans (Buccaneers) agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Monday, March 9, worth $60.4 million, according to a source.

Impending free-agent WR Mike Evans (Buccaneers) is reportedly expected to sign a three-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Monetary terms were not immediately disclosed.
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.

Updating a previous report, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans will test the waters when the window opens Monday, March 9, he and his agent will allow the Bucs to counter any offers before he accepts anything from a new team.
Huddle Up: Evans had an injury-plagued 2025, but he was still productive when on the field. And, he provides tremendous veteran leadership while always being a good citizen in the NFL. Wherever Evans lands, he is still likely to be a WR3 for fantasy purposes in 2026, but be sure to have depth on hand, as Father Time is catching up to him.
