Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament as well as a torn medial collateral ligament, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation because Aiyuk may miss some time during training camp because of the serious injury. He is a starting fantasy option when healthy but may fall down draft boards next season.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will miss the rest of the 2024 season after suffering a season-ending injury during the Week 7 game, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall should receive bigger roles in the passing game with Aiyuk out until 2025. Jennings can become at least a flex option most weeks, while Pearsall can become a possible flex option later in the season.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, a source said Sunday, Oct. 20. He will have an MRI to determine the source and severity of the injury.
Huddle Up: If the ACL is, indeed, torn, he would be done for the season. It's a tough blow for Aiyuk, who was just starting to shake off the rust after a slow start due to a contract impasse. Deebo Samuel, who left the Week 7 game due to illness, would be the WR1 in San Francisco, while Jauan Jennings would be the WR2 when healthy. Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall could also see a much larger role doing forward.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 7 game and has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see how long Aiyuk may be sidelined. Ricky Pearsall should see a bigger role in the passing game with both Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel injury and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk registered two receptions (on four targets) for 37 yards in a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, Oct. 10.
Huddle Up: Signed to a lucrative extension back in August, putting an end to a saga that stretched on for months, Aiyuk hasn't provided much of a return on investment for either the 49ers or fantasy owners. We're now six games into the 2024 season, and the fifth-year wideout has yet to score a TD and has only topped 50 yards in a game once. As of now, he's on a 65-995-0 pace. Odds are he'll turn things around -- he's too talented to continue being such an afterthought -- but don't bet on it happening in Week 7 against KC. When they faced off in the Super Bowl, Aiyuk finished with 49 yards on three catches.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk registered eight receptions for a game-high 147 yards on 12 targets in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk was a bit sluggish in his first four games, going for 48 or fewer yards with no scores. He is still searching for his first touchdown, but at least he finally had a strong catch and yardage total. He can be trusted as a WR3 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams, with the potential for much more.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk managed just two receptions for 48 yards on five targets in Week 4 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk has 48 or fewer receiving yards in each of his four games. Other star receivers have started slow after contract impasses, while sitting out training. They're getting it going, and producing like we expect. Aiyuk is still putting up WR4 or flex fantasy type numbers, and that's unacceptable. He'll try to finally break out in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught five of his 10 targets for 48 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
Huddle Up: Although Aiyuk set season highs across the board, the stat line was disappointing when you consider that both Deebo Samuel and George Kittle were sidelined. At this point, fantasy owners just have to hope he picks up the production as the season goes on.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught four of his five targets for 43 yards in a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk improved on his two-catch performance from the opener, but his final line still left a lot to be desired. Aiyuk's slow start comes on the heels of his contract dispute this offseason, so his production could start to pick up in the coming weeks as he logs more reps.
