ESPN reveals Fantasy projections for 49ers' Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, De'Zhuan Stribling

49ers WR room projections for Fantasy Football

The first 49ers wide receiver off the board is, as expected, Mike Evans. But Evans was surprisingly not taken until the 70th overall pick in the seventh round.

Evans was projected as the WR 32 in this mock draft, going after Michael Pittman, Marvin Harrison Jr., and DK Metcalf.

He's the new WR1 in San Francisco, but he's not going as high as he was when he was on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Evans isn't as valued highly, where do the other 49ers WRs fall?

A few rounds later, Ricky Pearsall was taken with the 101st pick as the 48th wide receiver off the board. This isn't too big a difference from where he was going at times during last year's draft.

He has some intriguing upside, but the injury issues last year and lack of touchdowns have Pearsall as a depth WR option for Fantasy managers, and not a FLEX or starting-caliber option.

And with this being a 10-team mock draft across 16 rounds, the presence of De'Zhaun Stribling is absent from this mock draft. The 49ers' pick at No. 33 overall, which was widely questioned for being a reach, isn't in the top 160 Fantasy picks this year.

Brandon Aiyuk was actually picked in this mock draft as the 61st and last WR of the board. While he won't be with the 49ers this year, he could be a decent option for, most likely, the Washington Commanders.

But, even though Aiyuk's roster status is very much in limbo, he was taken before Stribling in this mock draft from ESPN.

Overall, Evans is a WR3 while Pearsall is a WR5, and Stribling is a waiver-wire target at-best to begin the year. Unless reports out of training camp indicate he's going to see a lot of work, Stribling doesn't look set to be a productive Fantasy asset in his rookie year.
