Evans caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in his San Francisco debut against the Rams last week. He tied for the team lead with a 20.6% target share, led the 49ers with a 24% first-read share and immediately saw two red-zone targets. Evans has made a career out of winning in the red zone and now he's playing in a Kyle Shanahan offense that should consistently create those opportunities.

Evans' red-zone role and 20.6% target share exploit Dolphins' weak pass rush and young secondary.

Evans caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in his San Francisco debut, tying for the team lead with a 20.6% target share, leading the 49ers with a 24% first-read share, and immediately seeing two red-zone targets. He has made a career of winning in the red zone and now plays in Kyle Shanahan's offense, which should consistently create red-zone opportunities. Miami generated pressure on just 6.5% of Week 1 dropbacks and has a very young secondary facing Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle. The source projects Evans as WR14 at 16 fantasy points, in line with expert consensus, and emphasizes the touchdown opportunity; Evans doesn't need high volume to produce against this defense.
