Mike Evans News
Tuesday, April 21, 12:10 PM
After spending the first 12 seasons of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran wide receiver Mike Evans made headlines by signing with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency earlier this offseason. Injuries forced Evans to miss nine games in his final year with Tampa Bay in 2025. Across the eight games he was healthy for, the 32-year-old hauled in 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns on 62 targets. While Evans should no longer be expected to provide the same production he once did at his peak, he currently profiles as the clear number one wide receiver in the 49ers' passing game. Particularly with star 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) working his way back from a torn Achilles tendon, Evans could dominate targets early in the year in San Francisco. In dynasty formats, now might be the time for win-now managers to buy low on Evans before his value starts gaining momentum following the upcoming NFL Draft.

Chris Godwin Jr. News
Wednesday, April 1, 8:25 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. should be viewed as a low-end WR2 in redraft and dynasty leagues going forward. Now that Mike Evans has departed for San Francisco, Godwin and Emeka Egbuka will share the responsibility of leading the Bucs' receiver room. Either receiver could go off during any given week, but Godwin has a higher floor given his steady target share. The 30-year-old missed eight games due to injury last year, but he was productive when healthy, ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues from Week 13-18. Godwin last eclipsed 1,000 yards in 2023, and he had more than 100 catches in 2022. We wouldn't be surprised to see him finish 2026 with 100+ catches, 1,000+ yards, and at least a handful of touchdowns in 2026, as long as he can stay healthy. Managers in dynasty leagues might look to buy low on Godwin this offseason, given that his price tag is lower because of last year's injury.
