Evans on field production didn't match his deeper analytics and target-earning ability, as he was also second-best in separation and route win rate last season...that was more related to Baker Mayfield's inaccuracy than Evans slowing down.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Evans' elite separation and route-win metrics were masked by Mayfield; SF QB upgrade unlocks upside.

Mike Evans' on-field production last season (1.86 yards per route run, 52.6 receiving yards per game) underperformed his deeper analytics due to Baker Mayfield's inaccuracy rather than Evans slowing down. Evans ranked second-best in separation and route win rate last season and had only a 70.9% catchable target rate (84th among 109 receivers), indicating the quarterback was the limiting factor. The source projects that with improved quarterback play in San Francisco, Evans' elite separation and route-winning ability should translate to WR1-level production.
