Brandon Aiyuk Practices On Thursday
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and should be ready to roll in Week 1 versus the Detroit Lions. The sophomore receiver is expected to play a big part in Kyle Shanahan's offense and offers plenty of upside to managers moving forward. In his rookie season, Aiyuk caught 60 balls for 748 yards and five touchdowns. He also showed his versatility with two touchdowns on the ground with six attempts for 77 yards. Week 1 could get ugly and if it does, there is a good chance that the 49ers take it easy on their WR1. For the season, Aiyuk opens up as a WR3 with plenty of upside to blossom into a WR2 or more.
