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.

Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Wednesday, March 18, 6:29 AM
Free agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains unsigned after one week of free agency. While teams and players can take as much time as they need to negotiate, today's style of free agency places a strong emphasis on bidding wars within the first few days of the legal tampering window. Therefore, it's a bit surprising that Samuel remains unsigned, and even more surprising that we haven't heard many rumors about where he might end up. The Miami Dolphins are one potential landing spot, given that they said goodbye to both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this offseason. He might not be a real playoff contender there, but Samuel's rushing ability and short-route success would fit a system that's expected to run the ball a lot with Malik Willis and De'Von Achane. Some contenders that could benefit from Samuel's skills and veteran experience include the Panthers, Patriots, Chiefs, Ravens, or Eagles. We can't rule out a return to Washington, either. He's coming off a modest 2025 campaign in which he totaled 72 catches, 727 receiving yards, 75 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns.
