San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) does not have a timetable at this point, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team has been told by his doctor that he has a chance to be ready for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the offseason to see how Aiyuk progresses with his recovery. He will be a main part of the passing game when he is healthy and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) did very well in his recent checkup appointment with Dr. ElAttrache, according to general manager John Lynch. Lynch also said he expects Aiyuk to be with the team in 2025.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk's fantasy value is unclear still as the team has torn down a bit, and he could be out until midseason. He'll be a WR3 or WR4 target with hopes he can return to his WR1 form by fantasy playoffs time.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is slated to receive a roster bonus of $22.85 million on Tuesday, April 1. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team would be unlikely to trade him after that date and would keep him for the entire 2025 season, while he regains his health in the hopes that he can be a contributor down the stretch.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and could resume playing by midseason, barring any setbacks. However, there is no guarantee that he will perform at the same high level fantasy owners are accustomed to seeing upon his return. Aiyuk should be viewed as a late-round flier for 2025 fantasy leagues, while TE George Kittle and WR Jauan Jennings are expected to be San Francisco's top receiving options through the first half of the season.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who has a $22.85 million roster bonus coming due on April 1, is making good progress in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and could be ready to play by midseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk suffered the injury in Week 7, which means Schefter believes it will take about a full year for the receiver to make a full recovery. The problem - at least for his potential fantasy managers - is that there is no guarantee he will look like his usual self immediately upon his return. As a result, he should be considered little more than a late-round dart throw. Expect George Kittle and Jauan Jennings - with much help from Ricky Pearsall - to carry the passing game early next season.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk probably will not be a target for the Carolina Panthers if he becomes available on the trade block, in the opinion of the Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk is recovering from a serious knee injury but has been mentioned as a possible trade option this offseason, so fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation. The Panthers have Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen as their main receivers at this point. Both Legette and Thielen have the chance to be No. 3 receivers or flex options if they are able to stay healthy.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is unlikely to be traded, according to David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk is coming off a knee injury, but assuming he is back in San Francisco next season, he should be a key component of the offense and a potential WR2.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is available for trade along with WR Deebo Samuel, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Saturday, March 1.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk just signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension before the 2024 season, which ended prematurely due to a torn ACL. Regardless of where Aiyuk ends up, he has back-end WR2 value once he's fully healthy from the ACL recovery.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk may be available via trade based on recent comments from general manager John Lynch.
"That (other teams asking about Aiyuk) typically happens with really good players. I remember two years ago having similar conversations. You get calls and you always listen to calls. Since Kyle (Shanahan) and I have been here, we've been the No. 2 cash-spending team. In the last four years, we're the fourth-highest cash-spending team. So at some point, you have to reset a little bit, or at least recalibrate. You can't just keep pressing the pedal. I think there's some good that can come out of that. We need to get younger. I think we're the oldest team in football after trying to make a run last year. I think it's good to constantly get younger," Lynch said.
Huddle Up: In addition to getting younger, the 49ers need to open up some cap space for Brock Purdy. It sounds like San Francisco is more than open to trading Deebo Samuel and may be thinking the same about Aiyuk, especially after the team drafted Ricky Pearsall in the first round in 2024 and Jauan Jennings showed he could handle a much bigger role. Aiyuk should fetch a first- or second-round pick if his knee checks out - he is recovering from a torn ACL - and will a solid fantasy WR2 investment wherever he lands if he is dealt.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) could be ready for the start of the season, but his timetable is still unclear.
Huddle Up: Aiyuk could be the WR1 when he returns because it sounds very much like Deebo Samuel is going to be dealt. Aiyuk would lead a group that includes JaJuan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and TE George Kittle. Aiyuk tore his ACL and MCL, and the team has a history of babying their stars to a degree. So he'll be a low-end WR1 that you'd rather have as a WR2 because he could be very limited in the first month or two.
