Yahoo Sports NFL on Mike Evans

Evans' 6-catch, 1-TD debut silences injury concerns and establishes rapport with Purdy.

Evans provided immediate security and trust as Purdy's go-to target in Week 1, recording six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown on seven targets; the veteran wideout's acclimation to San Francisco's offense exceeded expectations given his injury history and offseason hesitance about his availability. Evans' consistency—at least 65 catches and 1,000 yards annually with Tampa Bay 2014–2024—was a key draw for the 49ers signing him, though that streak ended in 2025 when he missed half the season with injuries.
