Brandon Aiyuk Fantasy Profile: An in-depth look at the San Francisco 49ers receiver for 2021
Brandon Aiyuk's rookie performance may have flown a bit under the radar due to the impressive showings of fellow rookies Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins and Chase Claypool, but the 22-year-old put together some seriously impressive film and data points in his first year in the NFL. The games in which Aiyuk shined the brightest coincided with the absence of teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, both of whom are fully healthy heading into the 2021 season. That fact coupled with a likely change at the QB position makes it difficult to know what to expect from Aiyuk in his second pro season.
Aiyuk is a clear top-24 wide receiver pick for Dynasty startup draft purposes, but just how high should he be ranked at the position in season-long leagues while facing far more competition for targets in 2021?
Gibbs provides a data-driven deep dive to answer that question and address anything that stood out from his advanced statistical profile. These player profiles are just a small part of the advanced analytical prep Gibbs is providing for SportsLine users heading into the 2021 Fantasy football season -- if you want an easy way to keep up with all of the information that will be published this spring and summer, this Advanced Fantasy Football Stat Guide will be updated with links to each article as they go live.
