Brandon Aiyuk

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that he'd be very surprised if the San Francisco 49ers trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. The Niners are light on receivers, and Danny Gray didn't light up the stat sheet in 2022. If the team picks up Aiyuk's fifth-year option in May, he'll be under contract for two more years. Barrows thinks the 49ers will hold tight in 2023 and start considering a contract extension in 2024. The 24-year-old posted career-highs in catches (78), targets (114), ... [Read More]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught five passes on seven targets for 81 yards. The 24-year-old started off slowly, only catching one pass in the first half, but with QB Brock Purdy gaining composure in the second half, Aiyuk put up 72 yards in the second half.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught two passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Niners' 35-7 trouncing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was targeted three times. His touchdown reception at the end of the second quarter was for 32 yards and over 20 yards in the air, so San Francisco still can make use of his deep threat with Brock Purdy under center. That touchdown put the Niners up 28-0 at the half, and they only threw the ball five times in the second half. Aiyuk would ... [Read More]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was targeted nine times and caught five passes for 46 yards in the Niners' 33-17 home win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. His 9.2 yards per reception was his lowest average since Week 4. The loss of Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) for the rest of the year will probably hurt him. Brock Purdy has a much shorter average depth of target than Garoppolo. Aiyuk will try to get into a rhythm with his new quarterback next week in Tampa Bay. [Read More]
