Brandon Aiyuk Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyukhad a fantastic game in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. He caught six of his seven targets for a team-high 115 yards. He was a favorite target of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the game. Aiyuk tied with George Kittle for the team lead in targets. He had two more targets than the team's No. 1 receiver, Deebo Samuel. Aiyuk has flashed some big play abilities during his rookie year, but this was his first time with over 100 yards in a game. He's someone worth watching closely and is worth owning in deep leagues, though the production overall might be a bit inconsistent.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught just two passes for 12 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. His fantasy day ended up okay because one of his two catches was a touchdown. Deebo Samuel led all 49ers wide receivers in targets (6), receptions (6) and yards (66) in the game and that should continue to be a trend going forward. At best, Aiyuk will be the team's third option in the passing game behind Samuel and tight end George Kittle, but the team will also utilize their running backs in the passing game heavily. Aiyuk doesn't have a big enough role in the offense right now to warrant starting in any fantasy leagues this week.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk scored his third touchdown of the year in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. It wasn't an extremely active day for Aiyuk, who only had three targets in the game. He finished with just two catches for 12 yards, but the touchdown certainly boosted his fantasy day substantially. The 49ers had a fantastic day through the air, but George Kittle and Deebo Samuel led the passing attack, with 175 receiving yards combined. Aiyuk will likely be inconsistent and unreliable for fantasy purposes while both Kittle and Samuel are healthy.
