Mike Evans has a new home with the 49ers, and he looks like a wonderful value in fantasy drafts...If he can stay healthy this season, he should be one of the best values on the board for fantasy season with WR1 upside.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Evans' elite target and first-read metrics make him a top-tier value with WR1 upside in SF.

Mike Evans moves to San Francisco and the source projects him as 'a wonderful value in fantasy drafts.' While Evans dealt with hamstring issues, his 2025 limitation was a broken collarbone. Before 2025, he had never played fewer than 13 games in any season and had played at least 14 games every season since 2020. In his seven full games played last year, Evans posted a 24.4% target share, 30.6% first-read share, and 0.116 first downs per route run—metrics that would have ranked 13th-best among 109 qualifying receivers. The source projects Evans as 'one of the best values on the board for fantasy season with WR1 upside' if he stays healthy.
