Mike Evans likely will not play in Week 7 due to Achilles tendonitis flare-up. He's been critical to the 49ers offense on third downs, leading the NFL in EPA created with a 44% target share on third downs and ranking number one in first downs per route run. His absence removes a key receiving option and represents a significant variable that could lower the offense's floor, though Kyle Shanahan's scheme and the presence of George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey provide some mitigation. Despite the talent around him, the source acknowledges Evans' impact cannot be ignored.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026

Mike Evans was an early second-round pick in the source's BBM draft and dropped 50 points in the final, but wasn't well-represented in the final because his expensive ADP didn't pay off relative to his production. The source uses Evans as an example of an expensive weapon that is so costly it becomes a poor pick despite scoring well; his high cost made him unavailable in the winning build, which instead prioritized cheaper value plays like Chris Godwin.
