Brandon Aiyuk Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught one of two passes for six yards in a 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Aiyuk ran fewer offensive snaps (47.3%) than Trent Sherfield (49.1%) and should be faded in PPR formats until he can become more of a factor within the 49ers' offense.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk definitely wasn't expecting the low usage that he witnessed in Week 1 when he played in 47.3 percent of snaps and did not garner a single target. When asked if he was surprised, the second-year wideout said, "Definitely, but that was last week. Not really focused on that anymore. Another task at hand this week. Worried about that more than anything." Aiyuk, who has no injury designation despite previous concerns about a hamstring injury, is not worth starting on Sunday. Fantasy managers should stay away until they are given reason to believe that he is capable of having a large impact in the San Francisco offense once again.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) was a full go in practice on Wednesday. Aiyuk was active in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, but he played on only 47.3 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted a single time. Of course, fantasy managers want to know what is going on. The Niners didn't exactly need Aiyuk to win this one, but a hamstring injury in training camp has led to inconsistent practice time for the second-year wideout, and that has led to some inconsistent play. As the 23-year-old gets in more practice, he should become a bigger part of the offensive game plan. Whether more of a full-time role comes in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles remains unclear, and the team has been happy with receiver Trent Sherfield. Until Aiyuk's snaps and targets go up on game day, fantasy managers should drop him down in the WR3/4 range.
