From the episode

among players that ran 50 routes...he was third in route win rate behind only Devante Adams and Mike Evans...I think Mike Evans is a big deal for Ricky Pearsall because you can stick him on one side of the field.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Third in route-win rate; enables Pearsall upside in Shanahan scheme.

Evans is an interesting player for fantasy this season; he ranked third in route-win rate among 50+ route runners (behind only Devante Adams and Pearsall). The source notes Evans' presence on the 49ers allows Kyle Shanahan to get creative with Ricky Pearsall's usage. Evans is injury prone but his role in the offense is valuable.
