Mike Evans, now in his first season with the San Francisco 49ers after a 12-year run in Tampa Bay, has recorded two receiving touchdowns through four games in 2026 while posting 17 receptions for 213 yards. The 33-year-old veteran has drawn consistent targets in Kyle Shanahan’s offense alongside Brock Purdy, though he has played through a rib injury that has limited practice reps and raised durability questions following a 2025 campaign derailed by a broken collarbone and hamstring issues. His red-zone role and contested-catch profile remain strengths, but target competition from Deebo Samuel and a returning George Kittle, combined with an age-33 workload in a new system, shapes expectations for his full-season touchdown total. The 49ers’ upcoming schedule and Evans’ ability to stay healthy will influence his opportunities in the passing attack.
