Mike Evans, the 33-year-old 49ers wide receiver, is already battling an onslaught of soft-tissue injuries this summer, making his WR29 ADP a total gamble as the NFL preseason wraps up. This analyst is *out* on him, and honestly, can you blame them? We’re talking about a guy who was once a robotically productive wideout for over a decade, but a bargain isn’t a bargain if he can’t even stay on the field for Week 1. This isn’t just a minor tweak, it’s “one soft-tissue injury after another” that has plagued him through camp. That price tag looked great earlier in the summer, banking on a bounceback, but the early returns are a red flag for anyone hoping he returns to form.
Vegas Just Unlocked a Secret Weapon in Tre Tucker
While some veterans are struggling, the Las Vegas Raiders seem to have a legit sleeper emerging in wide receiver Tre Tucker. Talk out of Raiders camp all summer has been that Tucker is the clear No. 1 target for Kirk Cousins, outside of Brock Bowers, of course. He proved it Thursday night against the 49ers, snagging two passes for 22 yards on their opening drive. Remember last year? Tucker exploded for an 8-catch, 145-yard, 3-touchdown game against the Commanders. His ADP is sitting at WR61, meaning he’s practically free in drafts. You’re welcome, fantasy fanatics. Meanwhile, you might want to fade the entire Cleveland Browns offense, with the possible exception of running back Quinshon Judkins. That offense has looked rough all preseason, even by preseason standards.
Bijan Robinson Just Got Even More Dangerous
Over in Atlanta, it feels like the Falcons are completely revamping their offense, and it could make running back Bijan Robinson an absolute monster. We’re talking a potentially new quarterback, legendary OL coach Bill Callahan, and a *lot* more passing-game work for Robinson himself. He told reporters the Falcons are running “A couple new screens. We’ve been doing the same kind of screen the past year, which has been effective. I love us having to add more screens, and screens that can go across the play. There are just so many things that we can do with that scheme.” His fantasy value can’t really grow, he was the league leader in total yards in 2025 and is already the No. 2 overall ADP. But if you’ve got that coveted No. 1 pick, this intel is gold when you’re weighing Robinson against Jahmyr Gibbs. Oh, and keep an eye on Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, who was once locked in as a first-round pick and is now the subject of serious speculation.
It’s almost time, 12s. While we’re sifting through these final preseason scraps and figuring out who’s a fantasy bust or a sneaky add, the real football is just around the corner. The final preseason weekend is wrapping up, meaning roster cuts are coming, and then it’s go time. Soon enough, our Seattle Seahawks will be kicking off the 2026 regular season against the New England Patriots. Can’t wait for that first whistle!
