Brock Purdy upgrade and health recovery position Evans for major bounce-back.
Mike EvansWRSF
Evans is a favorable regression candidate despite playing only half a season in 2025 (an outlier). For his archetype as a downfield contested catch receiver, his catch rate has been solid. Moving to the 49ers with Brock Purdy, who consistently maintains better-than-average poor throw rates, Evans should receive more on-target passes in 2026. JJ Zachariason also notes that Evans had a weak efficiency season in 2024 but played only eight games with Baker Mayfield not fully healthy; applying catchable target rate regression logic, Evans can be positioned as a candidate for a massive bounce-back season if health and QB stability improve.
