Mike Evans continues to rank among top NFL wide receivers in 2026

Summary

PFF ranks former Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans at No. 16 as he joins the San Francisco 49ers for the 2026 season. Despite an injury-riddled previous season that ended his streak of 1,000-yard seasons, analysts remain optimistic about Evans' capabilities due to his strong performance in contested catches and one-on-one matchups. Evans leaves Tampa Bay after a distinguished 12-season career, where he played a key role in the team's Super Bowl victory. The Buccaneers now look to younger players like Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin to fill the void left by his departure.
