3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) practiced on Monday. This marked his first practice session in 10 days. As Cam Inman of The Mercury News points out, the second-year receiver "is a punt return option, but I doubt they press him into double duty." As such, it looks like Aiyuk will open 2021 solely as a wide receiver and won't play a role on special teams. As a rookie last year, the Arizona State product logged 825 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns through 12 games. He also returned a pair of punts. As of now, Aiyuk represents an intriguing fantasy option in a 49ers offense that should be speedy and aggressive this season. Just don't expect him to get you any return yardage in Week 1.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
