2024 RTSports Outlook

Aiyuk took his game to a new level last season, having his first 1,000-yard season as a pro. He was 16th overall in fantasy receiver scoring. He had just six games with fewer than double-digit fantasy points. Aiyuk had three games with 20-plus points, showing his big-game ability. He will continue to play a big role offensively, starting opposite Deebo Samuel. Aiyuk has 700-plus yards all three seasons in the NFL. Aiyuk has top speed and is explosive in the passing game, especially after the catch. He still has some growing up to do as a pro, but is getting better much better in that area. Aiyuk has the ability to be an elite receiver in the NFL.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Aiyuk was a top-20 fantasy receiver last year and should finish in that range again this year. He will get his weekly touches and has the ability for the huge game. He can get around 80 receptions for 1,100 yards and seven or eight touchdowns.

Dynasty | The 49ers are reportedly not fielding offers for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, Dynasty Analysis: Rumors of him being traded are going to persist until he works out a long-term contract extension. Aiyuk has raised the bar for his game over the past two seasons and posted a 75/1,342/7 season last year, showcasing his talent. He's on the last year of his contract, so something has to give. Regardless, Aiyuk's dynasty arrow is pointing up and he looks like a solid WR2 moving forward.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team is actively talking with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk about a long-term contract extension and there have been no trade discussions, despite reports to the contrary. Lynch said the team would be OK with Aiyuk playing on the fifth-year option in 2024. Given all the 49ers' other star players on both offense and defense, it might be hard for the organization to keep the 26-year-old former first-rounder past the 2024 campaign. Aiyuk now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and posted a career-best 1,342 receiving yards and 75 receptions for seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season starts in 2023. With at least one more season in the Bay Area coming, Aiyuk should be a highly sought-after WR2 in fantasy drafts this fall.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said on Tuesday that the team would like to sign wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a long-term contract extension. "We've got a nice track record of extending guys and [Aiyuk] is a guy we'd like to keep around," Lynch said. The 25-year-old is entering the fifth and final year of his current deal in 2024 and is coming off a career-high 1,342 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 75 receptions in 16 regular-season games in 2023. Aiyuk has increased his yardage totals in each of his first four seasons in the NFL and has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of the last two years while scoring a combined 15 touchdowns. He's racked up 3,931 yards and 25 TDs total in four years and will be a highly coveted wideout in fantasy this fall in his fifth year in San Francisco.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2024, said he wants to remain a 49er "if it's the right move." When asked what that would look like, he said "being a champion." Aiyuk finished last season on a sour note after catching just three passes for 49 yards on six targets in the 25-22 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday. However, the 25-year-old former first-rounder had 75 catches (105 targets) for a career-high 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games in his fourth year in the league. He has found the end zone 15 times the last two years. Aiyuk should remain plenty attractive as a strong WR2 for fantasy managers in 2024 as he heads into what could be his final season in the Bay Area.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk continued a statically mediocre postseason in the team's 25-22 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. The former first-rounder finished with just three receptions -- the same number in both of his previous playoff games this season -- on six targets for 49 yards. The 16.3 yards per reception in this game were near his regular-season number of 17.9, which was second in the NFL to Pittsburgh's George Pickens who had twelve fewer receptions and virtually the same amount of targets. Still, the 49ers and fantasy managers could have used one or two more big plays out of the fourth-year pro. Aiyuk will likely enter his age-26 season as a solid WR2 in 2024 fantasy drafts.

Feb 10 6:00pm ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will have his work cut out for him when the team faces the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII. In the regular season, the Chiefs' defense allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. In their first two playoff games, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's unit muted the production of their opponent's alpha receivers, limiting Tyreek Hill to 62 yards receiving and Stefon Diggs to 21 yards before allowing 115 yards to Zay Flowers in the AFC Championship Game. It should be noted, however, that Flowers did all of his damage on big plays, nearly half of it coming on one catch out of just five total. Something like Flowers' high-efficiency performance is Aiyuk's most likely path to success in this game as the latter finished second in the NFL with 17.9 yards per reception. Aiyuk will be seeing his fair share of man coverage as the Chiefs played man at a top-10 rate and Aiyuk had a top-5 finish to the the regular season with 3.72 yards per route run against man. In a strength vs. strength matchup and only accumulating five catches in SF's two playoff games, Aiyuk is something of a boom/bust fantasy option in the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was instrumental in the team's 34-31 NFC Championship comeback win versus the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Aiyuk provided the latest all-time moment for the 49ers -- a franchise with its fair share -- midway through the third quarter with a 51-yard diving reception off his opponent's face mask. He would light up Levi's Stadium three plays later with a six-yard touchdown reception to get the 49ers within a touchdown. Aiyuk finished with only one other catch for a combined total of 68 yards. The Pro Bowl snub will go to Las Vegas and confront Steve Spagnuolo's red-hot Kansas City Chiefs pass defense in Super Bowl LVIII.

Jan 27 3:40pm ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be a popular DFS play this Sunday when the team hosts the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, and for good reason. Detroit finished the regular season as the third-most generous defense to wide receivers in half-PPR scoring. Their worst performances were also the most recent, as they entered the playoffs as the single best matchup to wideouts over the last five games of the regular season. In the regular season through Week 16, the Lions played man coverage at a rate that ranked 10th in the NFL and Aiyuk ranks fifth among all receivers in yards per route run against man coverage. Last week's quiet line of three catches on six targets for 32 yards is unlikely to repeat and fantasy managers can put him in their lineups with confidence.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk disappointed fantasy managers in Saturday night's 24-21 comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round at Levi's Stadium. Aiyuk only mustered three catches on six targets for 32 yards. However, from a real football standpoint, Aiyuk was much more valuable. His second reception was pulled from the tops of his ankles on the run and helped the 49ers get into field goal position, points that later on would prove to be the difference in the game. His third was a difficult third-down conversion near the turf with a defender draped all over him, an important contribution to San Francisco's game-winning drive. He'll look to get back on track statistically when the 49ers face either the Detroit Lions or Tampa Bay Buccaneers in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will look to carry his 2023 fantasy breakout into the playoffs when he faces the Green Bay Packers at home in the Divisional Round. In his last five full games, Aiyuk has averaged 7.2 targets, 5.4 receptions, and 87.2 receiving yards per game. He had two touchdowns in that time frame. Over Green Bay's last five regular-season games, they allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers. As of Week 17, Green Bay had run an even split of zone and man coverage, ranking 17th in each, which is relevant since Aiyuk tends to do better against man-heavy schemes. Aiyuk should be a good option in fantasy this week, and a worthy DFS play if moderately priced.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk played a partial game in the team's 21-20 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. With San Francisco already locked into the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, Aiyuk saw his last action of the game in the second quarter. Before he was pulled, Aiyuk secured three of four targets for 25 yards receiving. He finishes the best fantasy year of his career with 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns. He'll likely be taken as a high-end WR2 in drafts this fall.

Jan 6 2:50am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is expected to start in Sunday's meaningless game versus the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara. With Week 17's seven-catch, 117-yard, one-touchdown performance in Washington, Aiyuk got to within six receptions of his season-long career high and needs one more touchdown to tie his career-best total of eight. The Rams represent the eighth-most favorable matchup for wide receivers in fantasy but a bigger determinant of Aiyuk's success will be his playing time, which hasn't been publicly stated. His role will likely be diminished to some degree and backup quarterback Sam Darnold is starting -- both of which add risk -- but odds are that he gets enough action to retain WR2 value.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk exceeded his championship week projections in the team's 27-10 road win over the Washington Commanders. The former Sun Devil caught seven of eight targets for 114 yards and a touchdown to lead the 49ers in all categories. Aiyuk has found another gear in his fourth year, coming into Sunday as the league leader in yards per route run and adding on to his career-high yardage total. San Francisco gets the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 18, but fantasy managers still playing will probably be looking elsewhere since that game will be meaningless for the 49ers following Sunday's clinch of the No. 1 seed.

From RotoBaller

Dec 31 4:30pm ET

49ers' WR Brandon Aiyuk had 7 receptions for 114 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win in Washington. It was Aiyuk's 2nd consecutive 100+ yard receiving game. He has averaged 7 catches with 114 receiving yards in those games.

Dec 30 3:40am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk saved his fantasy football night in the second half of last week's Christmas night loss to Baltimore. The 25-year-old went into the halftime locker room with one catch on one target for 18 yards but became a focal point of Brock Purdy's -- and then Sam Darnold's -- effort to come back from a three-touchdown deficit. Coming off the 113-yard performance, Aiyuk faces the Commanders in Washington this week, which should be a good matchup. The Commanders have allowed the second-most half-PPR points to wide receivers this year. They play man coverage at the 12th-highest rate in the league, which Aiyuk ranks fourth in the NFL against at 3.6 yards per route run. Aiyuk has a pretty safe floor this week as a must-start mid/low WR1.

Dec 26 2:20am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught six of seven targets for 113 yards in the team's Christmas night 33-19 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The man-coverage slayer was held to just one catch for 18 yards in the first half but became a main target late. With San Francisco attempting a three-score comeback in the fourth quarter, it was Aiyuk who briefly made the effort look achievable. 95 of his receiving yards and five of his receptions -- including a game-extending third down conversion -- came during just two fourth-quarter drives. Aiyuk and the 49ers will look to right the ship in Week 17 in Washington versus a flailing Commanders defense.

Dec 24 12:50am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will line up against a very tough Baltimore Ravens pass defense on Christmas night in Santa Clara. The Ravens have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers and come into the game at full health. The good news though, is that Aiyuk ranks third among wide receivers at 3.96 yards per route run against man coverage and Baltimore runs man at the 11th-highest rate in the NFL. Last week at Arizona he cooled off, catching three passes for 37 yards after averaging 14.9 half-PPR points per game over his previous six contests. But it seems likely that head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy game-plan into feeding Aiyuk as a counter to Baltimore's elite man defense, making Aiyuk a must-start in most formats in Week 16.

Dec 17 11:20pm ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was unable to join the scoring party in Sunday's 45-29 blowout of the Cardinals in Arizona. The 25-year-old posted three catches on five targets for a season-low 37 yards. Aiyuk initially appeared to be on the way to a productive day when he caught a pass on San Francisco's first offensive play but wasn't able to build any momentum after that. Aiyuk missed an opportunity to double his yardage total on a stop-and-go deep shot in the third quarter but he appeared to stumble, and quarterback Brock Purdy overthrew him by a step. The 49ers will need a strong performance from their best man-to-man coverage beater when they take on a quality Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16 on Monday night

Dec 16 1:40am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is on quite the productive streak following a Week 14 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He failed to score a touchdown for the first time in four contests, but his six catches -- which yielded 126 yards receiving -- were his highest total since Week 3. Aiyuk has a fairly good matchup on Sunday, as the Arizona Cardinals have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers but that matchup juice is more likely to be enjoyed by Deebo Samuel than Aiyuk. Many of Aiyuk's greatest successes this year have come against man coverage and Arizona plays the fourth-most zone in the NFL. That's not to say Aiyuk has struggled against zone coverage -- he's top five in fantasy points per route run versus zone -- just that Samuel has been even better and there are only so many targets and touchdowns to go around in San Francisco. Start Aiyuk as a high-end WR2 in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Dec 11 12:50am ET

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught six of nine targets for 126 yards in the team's 28-16 home win against the Seattle Seahawks. Sunday's performance was Aiyuk's fifth 100-yard game this year but ended a streak of four consecutive games with a touchdown. It was also the first time that both Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel exceeded 100 yards receiving in the same game, which breaks a season-long tendency for one receiver's success to come at the expense of the other. Aiyuk and Samuel also tied for the team-high in targets at a healthy nine each. In Week 15, Aiyuk gets a slightly above-average Arizona Cardinals pass defense coming off of their bye.
