Evans' 17 catches for 213 yards create a size mismatch Seattle's secondary must manage.

Evans gives Purdy a legitimate back-shoulder and contested-catch option, particularly in situations where the quarterback needs a reliable safety valve outside the numbers. Through four games, Evans has 17 receptions for 213 yards and two touchdowns. The source notes that this creates an interesting matchup for Seattle's secondary, especially if Evans is consistently targeted against smaller defensive backs. Josh Jobe could see snaps against Evans, and the size difference is something San Francisco can attempt to exploit.
