2024 Fantasy Outlook
Aiyuk and Brock Purdy formed perhaps the most efficient QB/WR duo in the league last season, with 105 passes producing 75 catches (71.4 percent) for 1,342 yards (17.9 YPR, 12.8 YPT) and seven touchdowns. The 2020 first-round pick topped his previous career high for catch rate by three percentage points despite having a sky-high 13.8 aDOT after three straight seasons in the 9.4-9.9 range. That catch rate will be nearly impossible to replicate without the aDOT (and YPR) declining, but Aiyuk still projects as one of the most efficient receivers in the league, catching passes from Purdy in a Kyle Shanahan offense that boasts three other excellent playmakers (Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle). It was Aiyuk who led the group in targets last year, albeit by a small margin with each of the four drawing at least 83 looks. He's now scheduled to play out his age-26 season under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, presumably hoping to sign an extension this spring/summer (and perhaps considering a holdout if nothing gets done). While no speed demon -- he ran a 4.50 40 at 6-0. 205 pounds in 2020 -- Aiyuk is unusually fluid/quick for someone so stoutly built and tracks balls downfield as naturally as any receiver in the league. He might be a 140-target guy in another offense, but it's hard to imagine him seeing that kind of volume for the Niners unless their other key playmakers have a brutal year for injuries. Of course, he's already shown he doesn't need huge volume to put up strong numbers in such a favorable situation efficiency-wise. Read Past Outlooks

Held under 50 yards again
Aiyuk had two receptions on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Aiyuk's early slog through the fantasy schedule continued for a fourth week despite the 49ers picking up a comfortable win over New England. The star receiver has seen his numbers slide down across the board since earning a deserved payday just before the start of the regular season. Aiyuk has yet to top 50 yards or find the end zone in any of his four starts this season, while No. 3 option Jauan Jennings led the team in receiving for the second week running. The 26-year-old Aiyuk has bigger fantasy performances ahead of him, with fantasy managers hoping that breakout moment comes in Sunday's home matchup against the Cardinals.

2020
He may never be the centerpiece of an offense that also features WR Deebo Samuel, TE George Kittle and RB Christian McCaffrey, but it was Aiyuk who led the Niners in catches (78), targets (114) and receiving yards (1,015) last year, clearing 1,000 yards for the first time in three seasons since he was drafted 25th overall in 2020. He's pretty much facing the same drawbacks this year, and possibly with even more target competition if McCaffrey and Samuel stay relatively healthy (they made 24 combined appearances for the Niners last season). On the other hand, Aiyuk also has all the same positives working in his favor, namely his own talent, a good offensive line and coach Kyle Shanahan. Another step forward isn't out of the question if someone emerges between Trey Lance, Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold to give the Niners legitimately solid QB play that isn't just scheme-based and YAC-dependent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see massive target volume
Aiyuk is set to see a significant increase in targets due to George Kittle now being likely to join Deebo Samuel as pass catchers sidelined for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Rams, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Aiyuk was already projected to serve as the 49ers' No. 1 receiver due to Samuel being ruled out earlier in the week due to his calf injury. However, with Kittle now listed as doubtful after missing the last two practices of the week because of his hamstring injury, Aiyuk seems like a virtual lock for double-digit targets against a Rams secondary dealing with some injuries of its own.
