Evans at WR27 ADP is a bargain with WR1 upside despite age and scheme fit concerns.

Mike EvansWR

Evans joins the 49ers at WR27 ADP and a Round 5 price, representing a bargain considering his elite resume. He had 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons before injuries cost him nine games in 2025, tied with Jerry Rice for the longest such streak ever. His 108 career touchdowns rank 10th all-time, and even in an injury-shortened 2024, his 2.3 yards per route run over the past two years ranked 14th among receivers. San Francisco's receiver room needs him with Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Skyy Moore all gone in free agency. OC Klay Kubiak has already called Evans a Hall-of-Fame receiver and the matchup San Francisco wants to feed in single coverage -- that's WR1 talk. Evans finished WR2 or better in 11 of 12 seasons, including six WR1 finishes. That price is paying for his floor while ignoring the potential ceiling.
