I think Mike Evans is going to be the biggest benefactor for us... He's going to occupy two sets of eyes, 50-50 balls aren't really 50-50. And he's a deep threat, he's always been that. Just one of the more dynamic receivers in the league.

Evans will be 49ers' biggest offensive beneficiary, forcing two-man coverage.

Trent Williams identifies Mike Evans as the biggest offensive beneficiary heading into 2026. Williams explains that Evans will occupy two sets of eyes on the field, forcing defenses to play him with two defenders; 50-50 balls won't truly be 50-50 because of his presence. As a deep threat and one of the league's more dynamic receivers, Evans will prevent safeties from keying in on filling gaps, which will open up the running game and short-to-intermediate passing game for the rest of the offense.
