Evans' age, injury history, and scheme mismatch with 49ers make ADP 67.6 a fade.

Evans scored at least 11 touchdowns in each of the last two full seasons, which props up his draft price, but everything else about his profile is aging. He has missed 12 games in his last two seasons and ranks in the bottom-5 percent of the league in yards after catch. Before last year's injuries limited him, he averaged just 11.3 PPR points and 47 yards per game. He has already dealt with two injuries in August. Now he lands on a new team with a new quarterback in Brock Purdy and a new scheme built to create space for receivers rather than lean on the contested catch profile that is all Evans has left. Recent history for receivers his age changing teams and schemes does not favor a smooth transition. Jim Coventry fades Evans at ADP 67.6, stating Father Time and a scheme mismatch are already working against him.
