Outlook Mike Evans

Mike Evans vs. Cardinals — Prime End-Zone Target in Favorable Divisional Matchup

Evans exited early last week with a hip issue, but head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the injury is not serious, though his practice reps will be managed this week. With fellow receiver Demarcus Robinson sidelined by an ankle injury, Evans remains entrenched as San Francisco's primary outside weapon alongside Deebo Samuel Sr.

Our weekly projection expects Evans to generate 12.8 fantasy points, estimating roughly four receptions for 57 yards and half a touchdown on over six targets. With San Francisco favored at home in a high-scoring environment, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a high-upside WR2.
