Evans' career lows in efficiency and durability concerns limit him to low-end WR2 despite coaching upgrade.
Mike EvansWRSF
Evans is heading into his age-33 campaign with declining durability; games played have fallen from 17 to 14 to 8 in recent seasons due to collarbone and hamstring issues. In 2025, he posted career-low marks in yards per catch (12.3), yards per target (5.9), and yards per route run (1.62), which the source calls 'a blinking red light.' While Shanahan's coaching upgrade and Purdy's quarterback upgrade should help restore some efficiency and production, Evans is best treated as a low-end WR2 rather than a top-tier option. The source notes San Francisco isn't famed for keeping players on the field, and Evans will be trying to claw back lost production rather than add another level to his game.
