Mike Evans News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:14 AM
Playing for his first new team since the Buccaneers selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans has been impressing his new teammates, with All-Pro tight end George Kittle recently telling reporters he brings a "new dimension" to the offense, particularly in the red zone. Evans has been complimentary of both his new system and quarterback, praising head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan for putting him in good opportunities against one-on-one coverage and noting that fifth-year professional Brock Purdy was one of the big reasons he came to San Francisco. The 49ers have deployed 21-personnel at the league's highest rate in each of the past two seasons, and with defenses needing to account for a fullback with an extra body near the box, Evans could see one of the highest rates of man coverage in his career, and if he can translate that into double-digit touchdown receptions, a mark he's cleared in four of the last six seasons, he'll prove to be a steal at RotoBaller's WR26.

Malik Nabers News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:14 AM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is making "really good progress" and is "very hopeful that he'll be back soon," according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Harbaugh added that he understands it will take time for Nabers to fully get back to himself. The head coach said a few weeks ago that Nabers was in the middle of his rehab from a meniscus and ACL tear, and he's now estimating that Nabers is 70-80% through it now. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2024 out of LSU was a Pro Bowler in his first year in the NFL and has caught 127 passes for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns in his first 19 games with the Giants, proving that he's a high-end WR1 when healthy. However, the uncertainty surrounding his return timeline as he prepares for his third NFL season has caused him to fall in 2026 fantasy rankings. It's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of training camp at the end of next month, which has made him more of a high-risk/high-reward No. 2 WR target in fantasy drafts in 2026.
