Mike Evans News
Monday, March 9, 11:00 AM
Future Hall of Fame wide receiver Mike Evans has agreed to terms on an undisclosed three-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Evans' 13th year in the NFL will be his first away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old veteran opened his career with 11 straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons before suffering hamstring and collarbone injuries in 2025 that limited him to a career-low eight starts. Evans caught 30 of his 62 targets last year for 368 yards and three touchdowns. The six-time Pro Bowler will now be seeking a second Super Bowl ring in the Bay Area as the Niners' clear No. 1 target for quarterback Blake Purdy. Injuries are a bigger issue for the aging wideout, but if healthy, Evans could have a WR1 ceiling again in fantasy football in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense.

Chris Godwin Jr. News
Saturday, February 14, 10:05 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. missed eight games in 2025 while working his way back from the devastating lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season. While he never found the trademark consistency that made him one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts at his peak, he did show flashes down the stretch, even while quarterback Baker Mayfield and Tampa's offense faltered. After making his second return of the season in Week 12, Godwin averaged 66.5 yards across Weeks 13 and 14, scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 15, and added a season-high 108 yards and another score in Week 17. After the firing of offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, the Buccaneers will welcome their fifth OC in as many years in Zac Robinson. While they can't seem to find consistency at the front of the room, the wide receiver corps is shaping up to look very similar in 2026, and while Godwin's 100-reception, 1,000-yard seasons may be behind him, he still profiles as a safe-floor, value buy for depth-seeking dynasty contenders.
