STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Evans' elite efficiency (7th EPA/target, 5th target success) offers significant upside with limited target volume.

Evans is seventh in the NFL in EPA per target and fifth in targeted success percentage, demonstrating elite efficiency. He has been targeted only 24 times compared to the six receivers ahead of him who have at least 39 targets, suggesting significant upside potential. Of his 17 receptions, 14 have resulted in either a first down or a touchdown. Kyle Shanahan moves Evans around the formation enough that defenses cannot key in on him, leading to incredible efficiency. The source positions Evans as a true WR1 caliber receiver that the 49ers acquired specifically to address their receiving struggles against Seattle.
