Huddle Up: The 49ers will likely be moving on from Aiyuk at some point this offseason, but he is still on the roster at this point. He should have a solid role wherever he plays in 2026 and can be a No. 3 receiver in a majority of leagues if healthy.

Huddle Up: Aiyuk was placed on the Reserve/Left Squad list during the season and appears unlikely to play for the 49ers again. There is a chance that the 49ers will be able to trade him, but he will probably be released at some point if there is no deal. He should have a solid role with a team in 2026 and could be a possible No. 4 receiver depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: Aiyuk is still expected to be released if San Francisco is unable to move him, and he has been linked to the Washington Commanders. Aiyuk is a bit of an unknown after losing the better part of two years to injury, but he will be worth a look as a WR4 in the hopes that he can recapture his 2023 form.

Huddle Up: Aiyuk will be a WR4 target with WR3 potential after a lost 2025 season.

Huddle Up: Aiyuk didn't play at all in 2025 while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, but he topped 1,300 yards in 2023. It remains to be seen if he can ever approach that level of performance again, but if he is fully healthy, he would have some legitimate upside as a weapon for Jayden Daniels.

Huddle Up: The 27-year-old Aiyuk is expected to be traded or released to get a new beginning with another team. Aiyuk had 294 receptions and 25 touchdowns over five seasons with the 49ers, including back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in '22 and '23. He missed all of last season after recovering from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee suffered in an October 2024 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The new league year will be coming up in March.

Huddle Up: Aiyuk did not play a single snap for the 49ers in 2025 and played just seven games in 2024 as he was recovering from a significant knee injury. Increased tensions between Aiyuk and the 49ers also contributed to his lengthy absence. When Aiyuk has played, he's been very productive, with two straight 1,000-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023. Whether Aiyuk can retain that form in 2026 is another question, as he'll likely play his next snap in a new uniform. A true wild card for fantasy football, Aiyuk is a wait-and-see fantasy asset right now. Once Aiyuk latches on to another NFL team, he'll be a solid dart-throw in the late rounds of drafts with the hope that he recaptures the fantasy value from a few seasons ago.

Huddle Up: It seems likely that Aiyuk will be with another team next season, so fantasy players will need to monitor his situation during the offseason. He probably will be a starter for a team and could be a starting option in fantasy leagues in 2025.

Huddle Up: Time is ticking for Aiyuk to make an impact in the fantasy season, and that quote sounds a bit grim. The Niners really aren't using a third wide receiver much. Kendrick Bourne hasn't had a reception in three games, and it's all going to Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Those four are clear starting candidates with the receivers in the WR2/WR3 range.
