Ellis Johnson argues that Mike Evans could be the biggest value at the position depending on your risk tolerance. At the moment, missed games are baked into his WR26 price. However, unless the fantasy community has perfectly threaded the needle of missed time and production, he won't finish there. When healthy, Evans on San Francisco projects to be a WR1 for fantasy. Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy are perfect for his skillset, and reports have been glowing from camp so far. He could miss substantial time with injuries and finish far below WR26, but if you believe he will be a top-10 WR when healthy, the risk is worth taking. If he finishes as a top-10 play in Weeks 16 and 17, you won't care about a couple of missed games during the season.
