Brandon Aiyuk Is The No. 1 Trade Target For Week 7 Fantasy Football

Показать описание

Brandon Aiyuk has clearly established himself as the clear No. 1 wide receiver in San Francisco. He has out-targeted Deebo Samuel in all but one game and has 37 targets for the season compared to Deebo’s 32. That includes Samuel leaving early in Week 6 and Aiyuk missing Week 3 altogether. Brandon Aiyuk currently sits top-5 in target share and top-10 in targets per route. He also leads all NFL wide receivers in team air yards share and is top-3 in yards per route.

While the box score showed a pedestrian four catches for 76 yards in Week 6, it could have been so much better. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a rare poor performance against a tough Browns defense. Brandon Aiyuk still managed to command 10 targets on the day. No other 49ers pass catcher had more than four. He was also second on the week to Marquise Brown with 158 air yards which accounted for more than 65% of the team’s total air yards.

The point is, better days are coming for Aiyuk. That will be especially true if either (or both) Christian McCaffrey or Deebo Samuel are forced to miss games with their respective injuries. Even when those guys are on the field, Aiyuk has had no trouble commanding targets and making plays. He currently sits as WR15 in fantasy points per game despite not having scored a touchdown since Week 1. Those will come. This is a top-tier offensive unit and will provide plenty of opportunities for Aiyuk to make plays and score fantasy points.
