Brandon Aiyuk

Brandon Aiyuk emerged as the primary receiver for the 49ers in 2023, accumulating nearly 1,500 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns in 19 games. Despite a modest role in the red zone, he commanded a 24% target share and ranked 15th in air yards share. Aiyuk's efficiency was notable, finishing as a top-5 performer in yards per route run. Entering a contract year at age 26, he may still have untapped potential after back-to-back top-15 WR finishes in half-PPR formats.

The 49ers reportedly remain focused on keeping Brandon Aiyuk and getting a long-term extension done.

Fantasy Impact

The rumors of Aiyuk being traded from the NFL Draft appear to be off the table, at least as of now. San Francisco views him as a crucial piece of its offense as they look to come to an agreement on an extension. This will remain a situation to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason.
