Outlook Mike Evans
A Fresh Start in San Francisco Offers Premium Value After Injury-Plagued Season
Mike Evans enters a new chapter with the 49ers, immediately stepping in as the starting left wide receiver. With teammate Brandon Aiyuk currently out of the picture due to personal matters, Evans is positioned to operate as a primary target for Brock Purdy in a highly efficient passing offense. Despite a disappointing, injury-shortened 2025 campaign, our models project a strong bounce-back season for the veteran.
In 1.0 PPR formats, his draft stock has stabilized around an ADP of 60, offering fantasy managers a secure veteran anchor at a discount. Earlier market fluctuations had his price climbing into the third round, but his current price represents a clear value opportunity. Our projections view his current market cost as a major buying window rather than a reach.
We project Evans to command 106 targets, yielding 63 receptions, 896 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns. While his consecutive 1,000-yard streak snapped last year, his red-zone presence and secured role in San Francisco's scheme keep his fantasy baseline remarkably safe.

Outlook Courtland Sutton
Target Share Concerns Meet Veteran Efficiency in Denver's New-Look Offense
Sutton remains a focal point in Sean Payton's passing game, even with Denver adding dynamic playmaker Jaylen Waddle to the receiving corps. While some fantasy managers fear a drop in targets, Sutton’s elite chemistry with young quarterback Bo Nix and his proven red-zone efficiency secure his high-leverage role. He will operate alongside Waddle to give the Broncos a formidable starting duo.
Our data highlights a fascinating market trajectory for the veteran, whose ADP has hovered in the mid-70s before briefly spiking and settling as a high-value eighth-round draft option in full PPR leagues. At this price point, Sutton is a value grab rather than a risky reach. Fantasy managers are getting a proven target-earner at a discount.
Our models project Sutton to compile 62 receptions for 823 yards and seven touchdowns this season. While these figures reflect a minor regression from his back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, his exceptional scoring prowess keeps him firmly in the weekly WR3 or Flex conversation.
