Mike Evans News
Monday, August 3, 10:24 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Monday because of a quad strain, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The team has not announced when the injury occurred or how long Evans is expected to be sidelined. San Francisco signed the six-time Pro Bowler to a three-year deal in March after he spent his first 12 NFL seasons with Tampa Bay. Evans was limited to eight games in 2025, finishing with 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Before last season, he had opened his career with 11 straight 1,000-yard campaigns. The 49ers have no reason to push the 32-year-old veteran through a soft-tissue injury early in camp, but the lack of a timetable makes his next practice status worth watching. Evans' fantasy outlook remains unchanged for now, though a longer absence would become more concerning as the preseason approaches.

Jordyn Tyson News
Saturday, August 1, 5:37 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and early returns suggest he's living up to the billing. In recapping the first three practices of training camp, Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill spoke of how impressive the young rookie has looked. "The way he moves and carries himself, I really like... He looks and moves like a high-level athlete... He's an incredibly gifted route-runner." Tyson stood out throughout his collegiate career by finding the soft spots in zone coverage, and with the newly extended Chris Olave consistently ranking among the league's most efficient receivers against man coverage, New Orleans has a tandem whose skill sets complement one another neatly, allowing the duo to quickly develop into one of the top pairings in the league. Tyson is RotoBaller's WR29 but could ultimately prove to be one of the best values in the middle rounds of 2026 drafts.
