Evans provides red-zone and boundary target role to exploit linebacker coverage.

Mike Evans is identified as a key addition to the 49ers offense, brought in to serve as a legit red-zone and boundary target. The source emphasizes that Evans adds physicality and a new element to the offense designed to exploit linebacker coverage weaknesses; Evans will face elite cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson in Week 1 against the Rams, but the 49ers' strategy targets linebackers rather than winning at the cornerback level.
