Mike Evans Week 5 Outlook - 49ers at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Mike Evans is an absolute DAWG! Evans gutted it out last week with a myriad of injuries, including broken ribs. Evans grimaced and was slow to get up after every catch, but that didn't stop him. Evans is the WR24 in fantasy points per game, and he's been awesome when on the field for the 49ers. Last week, Evans had a 67.6% route share, a 26.7% target share, 3.30 YPRR, and a 31.3% first-read share. Overall, this season Evans has a 60.8% route share, a 21.2% target share (32% TPRR), 2.80 YPRR, four red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 24.7% first-read share. This week, he'll face a Seattle secondary that has utilized two high at the ninth-highest rate in the NFL (59.1%). Against two high, Evans has a 33% target-per-route run rate and 3.10 YPRR, which are absolutely elite numbers. Seattle has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per target and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers. Evans has the talent to overcome a bad matchup, though. In most leagues, I'm still starting him.
