Latest takes
“However, if he ends up playing 13+ games, fantasy managers will be ecstatic. Another reason I am willing to take the risk of injury with Evans is that when he plays, he should be a locked-in top-12 player on this offense each week.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“With Ricky Pearsall now missing the season with his PCL injury, it is rookie De’Zhaun Stribling and Christian Kirk behind Mike Evans”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6“Mike Evans is now in San Francisco, which is important because when Evans wasn’t on the field last season, Egbuka’s target share was 28%”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 6

“Yet, Samuel could be Brock Purdy’s top wide receiver at some point this year given Mike Evans ‘ recent injury history”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“A fully healthy Mike Evans in this Kyle Shanahan system is a lock for 70+ receptions, 1,000+ yards ( obviously ), and 8+ TDs…that baseline would have been enough to finish as the overall WR11 in 0.5 PPR scoring in 2025, and is the exact reason The Path to a WR1 Season for Mike Evans is paved with gold.”
PaulMarnie· Jul 27“Big Mike joins an offense with arguably the best overall RB, TE, and head coach in the entire league, and although this sounds like a recipe for disaster for a veteran recovering from a season plagued by injury, I tend to look at his move west in a similar light to all those optimistic prospectors from the mid-1800s…becuase let me tell you, Mike Evans on this 49ers team is going to be fantasy gold .”
PaulMarnie· Jul 27“Mike Evans has a new home with the 49ers, and he looks like a wonderful value in fantasy drafts.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 21“49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk had high hopes for new WR Mike Evans , but he was still surprised by the veteran’s ability to completely dominate practice, especially during red-zone periods. “The expectations we had for Mike were already high … he’s a Hall of Famer … and he blew us all away,” Juszczyk said, via Vic Tafur of The Athletic . “He was unguardable in practice, especially in the red zone. And he fits in so well.””
Nate Bouda· Jul 18“Evans is almost 33 years old with an accumulation of injuries over 12 years. We are dangerously close to the performance cliff here, so it is perilous to assume that he will just absorb most of the 168-target vacancy.”
Vernon Meighan· Jul 8“Watch this space with the arrival of Mike Evans in San Francisco. Evans has been an integral part of one of the most efficient offenses in this category during his time down in Tampa Bay, and it will be interesting to see if that advantage translates to the same extent in Kyle Shanahan's system.”
Joe Gibbs· Jul 3“The offense will also no longer have Mike Evans after he departed in free agency for the 49ers.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“The concerns revolve around durability and age. At 33 years old, Evans enters a completely new offensive environment while carrying a long history of hamstring issues. Erickson suggested fantasy managers may eventually want to capitalize on a fast start by trading him before those risks become more significant later in the season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jun 28“Evans joins an offense led by Brock Purdy after building a career around scoring touchdowns and producing 1,000-yard seasons. Erickson believes that touchdown upside remains very real, making Evans capable of delivering week-winning fantasy performances.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jun 28“Investing in Evans can be risky, but we know he's got talent, is in a good situation, and is paired with a solid quarterback. This could be shaping up to be 2025 Davante Adams, which was a smash value in drafts.”
Jonathan Lange· Jun 15“Mike Evans scored 1 RecTD, 180 RecYds, 12 REC, and earned 1 100+Rec bonus for 39 fantasy points in Week 9.”
Jason Nation· May 31
“Tuten is an explosive play waiting to happen. He is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, and ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“Round 12: Chris Rodriguez (RB – JAX) The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten as the primary ball-carrier, but Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“Bhayshul Tuten (JAC) — ECR: RB25 | Projection Rank: RB23 | Projected FPTS: 193.”

“Last yr among 35 RBs w/ at least 25 RZ rush att (per @FantasyPtsData ) Sure… Chris Rodriguez was 6th in rushing success % & had the 13th-lowest stuff % BUT… Bhayshul Tuten was 4th BEST in rushing success % & had the 4th-lowest stuff %.”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 22“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 15“Mike sees the upside in Tuten, expecting him to be boot-scootin' up to top-end RB volume this season.”
Kemper Trull· Jul 10“Tuten never got much work while the team leaned on Travis Etienne; however, Etienne is in New Orleans now, and the Jags brought in Chris Rodriguez (WAS) to help carry the load. This situation is eerily similar to Chase Brown before he broke out in his second year in Cincinnati.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 10“Bhayshul Tuten didn't show much in his rookie season, with only one game over 30% snap share. Still, when he was on the field, he made an impression.”
