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.

Malik Nabers News
Tuesday, April 7, 5:43 PM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Tuesday that wide receiver Malik Nabers' (knee) timeline to be ready to play "is going to be in training camp and closer to the season," according to Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports. Nabers was present for the start of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday, but he's unlikely to be doing much of anything on the field after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. The Giants are hopeful that the former sixth overall pick out of LSU will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, and barring a setback this summer, that should be the case. Fantasy managers should be able to get the 22-year-old at a discount in drafts later this year after his knee injury, and although he'll be more risky because of the injury, he'll still have high-end WR1 upside if he's not slowed down at all on the field. Nabers had 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches in his rookie season in 2024 and was well on his way to another big season in 2025 before getting hurt.
