X receiver role not guaranteed due to age and injury history.

Mike EvansWRSF

Mike Evans is projected to play X receiver for the 49ers in 2024. However, Harmon notes that Evans playing X is not guaranteed—he is an older player who has dealt with injuries. If Evans misses time, which is absolutely possible, De'Shawn Stribling will see increased playing time and would likely play X as well. The 49ers have been one of the more injury-riddled teams, creating upside scenarios for Stribling if Evans is unavailable.
