Huddle Up: Evans has battled some minor injuries during training camp, but it sounds like he should be ready for the opener. Assuming he can stay healthy, he will have WR2 upside as one of the main options in the San Francisco passing attack.

Huddle Up: 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Evans should be back to practice next week before leaving for Australia. Consider him a mid-range WR2 for fantasy with the hope that he still has a lot of gas left in the tank in his 13th NFL season and first with the 49ers.

Huddle Up: A great piece of news for the 49ers as they've been banged up throughout their receiving corps all training camp and preseason. Evans returning to practice is huge for them and you can consider him a mid-range WR2 for fantasy with the hope that he still has a lot of gas left in the tank in his 13th NFL season and first with the 49ers.

Huddle Up: Evans has been a bastion of consistency in his NFL career, starting out his career with 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons before losing a huge chunk of time in 2025 with a hamstring strain, concussion and a broken collarbone. Joining the 49ers in 2026, Evans is in uncharted water heading into his age-33 season with a new team. For fantasy purposes, a healthy Evans is a low-end WR2 with flashes of WR1 upside this season.

Huddle Up: Evans has missed time during camp because of the injury but seems to have recovered from the injury. He will be the main receiver for the 49ers this season and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

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.
