49ers | Three grabs for Brandon Aiyuk Mon Feb 12, 12:21 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught three of his six targets for 49 yards in a 25-22 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.
| Footballguys view: It was not a great day for the 49ers' passing attack. QB Brock Purdy had 39 passing attempts, but he should have peppered Aiyuk with more passes. It should have been a larger part of their game plan to get the ball into the hands of one of their best playmakers. Not force-feeding Aiyuk the ball was one of the things 49ers fans will look back on as a mistake in this game. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught three passes for 55 yards and one touchdown against the against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. He was targeted three times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk scored early and looked like he might be on his way to a big game, but the 49ers easily handled the Jaguars and didn't have to press the issue on offense in the second half. A healthy Deebo Samuel helps this offense, but might take the edge off of Brandon Aiyuk's weekly ceiling. He's still a strong WR2 play against the Bucs next week. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk ended up with four grabs for a team-high 76 yards and 10 targets in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk made a big play to set up what should have been the game-winning field goal, but rookie Jake Moody missed from 41 yards. Deebo Samuel left this game with shoulder injury, so Aiyuk should be set up to dominate wide receiver targets against the Vikings next week. |

49ers | Brandon Aiyuk making the most of his opportunities Tue Oct 3, 02:05 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk ranks 10th in the NFL with an 18.8 yards-per-catch average (minimum 10 receptions) and 11th in the league with 320 yards receiving despite missing one game and playing hurt for most of another. Perhaps most impressively, all 17 of his catches have either resulted in a first down or a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: That's a fantastic look into Aiyuk's numbers this season. Once in Kyle Shanahan's doghouse years ago, Aiyuk keeps taking his game to another level. His play is one of the reasons why the 49ers are in a Super Bowl window. Aiyuk currently ranks as the no.11 fantasy WR in standard-scoring leagues. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers play on Thursday night against the Giants in Week 3. This is an AC sprain (most likely) and is not considered serious. However, this injury might keep him out of action in Week 3. Have other options at the ready if Aiyuk is a late scratch before the Thursday night game. |

49ers | Monster Week 1 line for Brandon Aiyuk Sun Sep 10, 06:25 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk finished with eight receptions for 129 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk was dominant against a Steelers secondary that had no answer for him, even when coverage was perfect. The connection developing between Aiyuk and Brock Purdy is the stuff that fantasy dreams are made of. Overpaying for Aiyuk in a trade this week might look wise if this keeps up against the Rams next week. |

49ers | WR Aiyuk 'About to Take Off' Fri Jul 7, 01:08 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk feels like the best is yet to come per 49ers.com reporter Briana McDonald. "I'm about to take off," Aiyuk said during the team's offseason programming. "That's it. Nothing is guaranteed, but just getting a better understanding for my life as a person, and as a football player, and putting those two together, and then looking to get better. I feel like having another offseason being on top, being able to get out here another spring, working on my craft, I see it."
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk had a breakout season in 2022, catching 78 passes for 1,015 yards and eight receiving touchdowns. He's been in and out of HC Kyle Shanahan's doghouse, but if he's not it's clear Aiyuk can produce at a high level. Fantasy GMs see him as a low-end WR2 or flex option, so he could outperform his ADP if he does 'take off' in 2023. |

49ers | Brandon Aiyuk making noise Thu Jun 15, 01:09 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has been a 'standout' throughout OTAs, according to Jerry McDonald of the San Jose Mercury News.
| Footballguys view: Message! Aiyuk has always had talent, and the 49ers know how to get the most out of him. If he stays healthy and shows consistent effort, Aiyuk can best the breakout numbers he posted in 2022. Playing on his fifth-year option in 2023, Aiyuk is also looking to get paid. He was the no.15 fantasy receiver last year (standard-scoring leagues) and could push for a spot in the top-10 this season. |
