Evans at 14 PPG is a round undervalued; Purdy upgrade unlocks upside.
Matt Kelley is bullish on Mike Evans as a beautiful landing spot in San Francisco, projecting him at 14 PPG, which he notes is at least a round behind where he expects players to score points. Kelley believes Evans is competing for targets primarily with non-wide receivers (a running back out of the backfield and a tight end coming off an Achilles rupture), making him the clear red zone target. Kelley compares Evans' situation to Devontae Adams' 2023 season and notes Evans has never had great quarterback play except with Tom Brady—Brock Purdy may be the second-best QB of his career. Evans had 1,900+ air yards in 2023, top-10 target rate at 27.6% targets per route run, and his 3.3% motion rate (173rd among NFL WRs) suggests Kyle Shanahan could unlock additional upside by deploying him in motion more, something defensive coordinators have never accounted for.
