Mike Evans News
Tuesday, March 31, 6:02 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans went through a massive change of scenery this offseason. After 12 years in Tampa Bay, the veteran pass-catcher inked a new contract with the 49ers, pairing him with talented quarterback Brock Purdy. While it's not necessarily a major quarterback upgrade or downgrade for Evans, the change of scenery could be valuable for his NFL career and fantasy outlook. His role was slipping a little in Tampa Bay as Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. took on larger roles. In San Francisco, Evans will be the clear No. 1 receiver, with Ricky Pearsall not serving as too much of a threat. Staying healthy will be the biggest key for Evans, who missed nine games last year and finally saw his streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons come to an end. We would not be surprised to see Evans finish 2026 as a mid-to-high WR2, and he even has WR1 upside. Even at 32 years old, he's an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues where his current manager is bothered by last year's injury issues.

Cooper Kupp News
Sunday, April 19, 6:01 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp finished the 2025 season as the WR55, and his receiving yardage has now dropped year after year since his 2021 Triple Crown-winning season. His two total touchdowns and 37.1 yards per game both marked career lows. In his first season in Seattle, he saw only a 15.5% target share, and as he approaches his age-33 season, any hopes of a fantasy resurgence have been comfortably put to rest. Returning quarterback Sam Darnold and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury will have the reigning Offensive Player of the Year to lean on in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and after sending a fourth and fifth-round pick to acquire Rashid Shaheed in a mid-season trade and then signing him to a three-year, $51 million deal, the expectation is that he will earn more than the 2.6 targets per game he saw across his nine regular season outings with the Seahawks. Kupp did lead the team in targets and receptions in their Super Bowl win over the Patriots, proving that he can still provide the occasional spike week in the rare occurrence that an opponent has both the plan and the personnel to limit Smith-Njigba, but relying on him as a weekly starter is no longer a viable option. Once one of fantasy's true elites, Kupp is now WR108 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.
