Evans expected healthy for Week 1; solid WR2 with No. 1 receiver volume.

Evans has been nursing a quad injury during early stages of his first training camp with the 49ers, but Kyle Shanahan said the team is just 'being smart' with the soon-to-be 33-year-old and expects him back on the field to start the season. Set to be San Francisco's No. 1 receiver in 2026 provided he stays healthy; the former Buccaneers saw an 11-consecutive 1,000-yard season streak end in 2025 due to hamstring and clavicle injuries, but if healthy should still have the volume needed to be a solid WR2 in fantasy football formats in 2026.
