Mike Evans News
Thursday, September 10, 11:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver made good on the hype surrounding his signing in Thursday night's 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Evans brought in six of his seven targets for 49 yards and one touchdown in the season opener. Evans was involved early and often on pivotal plays, converting four third downs in the first half (three on the first drive alone). His lone missed target came on a third-and-three just before halftime. Evans' lone catch in the second half was a two-yard touchdown that helped the 49ers pull away. With his size and abilities as a receiver, it is easy to see Evans becoming a preferred target for quarterback Brock Purdy in the weeks to come. In Week 2, Evans will get a plum matchup against the Miami Dolphins at home.

Carnell Tate News
Saturday, September 12, 5:47 AM
The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate enters his rookie season in a position with significant expectations. While Tennessee has a pair of capable veteran wideouts in Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley, Tate profiles as the team's most explosive and highest-upside pass-catcher by far. In Week 1, Tate and the Titans get a favorable matchup against the New York Jets, who allowed the most receiving touchdowns (36) in the NFL last season. However, the offensive ecosystem around Tate remains a question mark. Titans quarterback Cam Ward largely struggled as a rookie in 2025 and put together a shaky preseason this summer. Tate carries significant upside if Tennessee can field a competent passing game, but the team may operate with a run-heavy approach in what projects to be a low-scoring game against the Jets. All in all, Tate profiles as a low-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers on Sunday.
