Mike Evans Brings a "New Dimension" to 49ers Offense

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.

Tyreek Hill News

No Timetable for Tyreek Hill's Return

Friday, June 12, 5:13 AM

Five-time All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill has not played in an NFL game in almost nine months, and with minicamps around the league concluding ahead of the annual summer break, the 10-year veteran remains unsigned. Hill suffered a severe leg injury that left him with multiple ligament tears and a dislocated knee, and it does not seem as if he's ready to join a team anytime soon. Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, recently spoke with Miami-based sportscaster Josh Moser and told him that Hill "is still in the midst of a rigorous recovery and rehab", adding that there is no set timetable for his return. Hill, who has racked up more than 12,000 yards and 90 touchdowns in his 10-year career, has a goal of earning the Comeback Player of the Year Award, according to Rosenhaus, but should he return for an 11th season, it sounds as if it could come as a mid-season signing rather than a training camp pickup. At 32 years old, Hill has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR82.
