BRANDON AIYUK - WR SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Start Him

I think that Brandon Aiyuk has top 15 potential this week in his game vs the Dallas Cowboys and will be in my starting lineup in every league I have him in. Aiyuk has seen 50 targets in the last 4 weeks, including 16 last week after Deebo Samuel left the game with a hamstring injury. The 49ers will likely be without top RB Raheem Mostert and with Deebo Samuel already being ruled out, I think Aiyuk takes a step up and becomes the top option. The Cowboys have not been a good defense and are the worst in the league in terms of points allowed. Aiyuk has a very similar skill set to Deebo Samuel, and I expect him to see some rushing work as well. Even if it is only a few attempts, Aiyuk has the potential to make a big play out of nothing.
