Evans' age-33 season marred by recurring injuries, career-low efficiency, and new-playbook adjustment despite TD upside.

Evans is a dicey proposition entering his age-33 season. Hamstring and collarbone issues sidelined the vet for nine games in 2025. A change of scenery does not appear to have provided relief, as he has battled calf, quad and groin injuries thus far into training camp. Even when he does suit up, the physical wear and tear on his body appears to have caught up with his production. Evans posted career lows in yards per route run (a 33.3% drop from 2024) and fantasy points per catch last season. The dip in efficiency capped the impact of his previously high-value grabs. On the other hand, the red area of the field is exactly where Evans has thrived, ranking third of 77 qualified WRs in percentage of points scored via TD (38.8%) over the past three seasons. Combined with learning a new playbook and facing a bottom-10 strength of schedule, Evans faces an uphill battle to rebound in 2026.
