Mike Evans News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:14 AM
Playing for his first new team since the Buccaneers selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans has been impressing his new teammates, with All-Pro tight end George Kittle recently telling reporters he brings a "new dimension" to the offense, particularly in the red zone. Evans has been complimentary of both his new system and quarterback, praising head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan for putting him in good opportunities against one-on-one coverage and noting that fifth-year professional Brock Purdy was one of the big reasons he came to San Francisco. The 49ers have deployed 21-personnel at the league's highest rate in each of the past two seasons, and with defenses needing to account for a fullback with an extra body near the box, Evans could see one of the highest rates of man coverage in his career, and if he can translate that into double-digit touchdown receptions, a mark he's cleared in four of the last six seasons, he'll prove to be a steal at RotoBaller's WR26.

Calvin Ridley News
Monday, June 8, 5:11 PM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) was participating at OTAs on Monday, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Ridley was seen running routes and catching passes after he suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11 of last year. The 31-year-old is on track to be ready for training camp this summer and for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, but his fantasy stock has plummeted after he caught just 17 passes for 303 yards and no touchdowns on 36 targets in seven games last year in his second season with the Titans. Ridley will still have a role in the Titans' offense if he's healthy, but the offseason additions of Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and rookie Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft will ensure that Ridley will likely struggle to generate volume in Tennessee's passing attack. The former first-rounder in 2018 out of the University of Alabama has fallen all the way to No. 61 in RotoBaller's 2026 WR rankings after his injury-plagued 2025 season.
