Mike Evans News

Can Mike Evans Return to WR1 Form in 2026?

Wednesday, July 1, 5:37 AM

A broken collarbone, a concussion, and a nagging hamstring issue limited six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans to only eight games in 2025, ending his historic run of 1,000-yard campaigns. In signing a three-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, Evans will seek a fresh start for his 13th season, and if health allows him to stay on the field, he could be well-positioned for a 2026 bounceback. Throughout his career, Evans has been one of the most productive players in the league with two or fewer receivers on the field, and with head coach Kyle Shanahan's propensity for fullback usage, that is a situation he should find himself in regularly. The team's leading wide receiver from each of the past two seasons, Jauan Jennings, departed in free agency, and with All-Pro tight end George Kittle potentially requiring an early-season ramp-up period as he recovers from a torn Achilles, San Francisco's offense could run through Evans and Christian McCaffrey to begin the year. At almost 33 years old, the health concerns that plagued his final season in Tampa have not suddenly disappeared, but as RotoBaller's WR26, Evans is a pure upside swing in 2026 drafts, and if he can manage anything close to a full season, he could ultimately finish the year in familiar territory among fantasy's biggest difference-makers.

Wan'Dale Robinson News

Wan'Dale Robinson a High-Volume Sleeper in 2026 Drafts

Thursday, June 25, 6:01 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has earned 263 targets and caught 185 balls over the past two seasons, mostly with Brian Daboll as his play-caller. With the two reuniting in Tennessee after Robinson signed a four-year, $70 million deal in free agency, his usage should remain consistent. While 2025 represented a career year for Robinson and his first 1,000-yard campaign, he actually had one more target and one more reception in the previous season, making him a valuable PPR contributor even as teammate Malik Nabers was breaking the Giants' single-season reception record. In Tennessee, much of the hype is rightfully around fourth overall pick Carnell Tate, but Tate has never earned targets at a level approaching Nabers, and it should come as no surprise if it's actually Robinson who leads the team in catches in 2026. While his ceiling will be capped as Tate takes more ownership of the offense throughout the year, Robinson should continue to provide safe floors and consistently usable fantasy performances, particularly in full-PPR leagues, and at RotoBaller's WR52, he is an undervalued late-round pick who can provide stability to almost any type of roster build.
