BRANDON AIYUK NEWS

Four catches on MNF Aiyuk caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams.

Impact Aiyuk ranked second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, but he was nowhere near team leader Deebo Samuel, who turned seven targets into six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. Heading into a Week 5 visit to Carolina, Aiyuk has 14 catches for 179 yards and one touchdown.

Scores lone offensive touchdown Aiyuk caught three of eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Aiyuk looked poised for a big fantasy game when he caught two of his three targets (including the score) on the 49ers' second drive of the game. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, both Aiyuk and the rest of San Francisco's offense would go dormant for the rest of the contest. On the positive side of things, the 24-year-old has seen his targets increase to eight in each of the two games Jimmy Garoppolo has played in this season after seeing only three targets with Trey Lance (knee) as the starter in Week 1. Aiyuk carries flex appeal heading into a matchup against the Rams next Monday.

Leading receiver against Seattle Aiyuk caught five of eight targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks.

Impact The third-year wideout led the 49ers in targets and receiving yards while tying Deebo Samuel in receptions, and the early switch under center from Trey Lance (ankle) to Jimmy Garoppolo didn't seem to have an impact on his role or production. With Samuel splitting his time between the backfield and his receiving role once again while Elijah Mitchell (knee) is on IR, Aiyuk could be San Francisco's de facto No. 1 WR in a somewhat more pass-oriented offense under Garoppolo heading into a Week 3 clash with the Broncos.

Unlikely to play Aiyuk isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The same goes for TE George Kittle and fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel, the two other candidates to lead San Francisco in targets this year. It may be a matter of usage rather than skill, given that Samuel has value as a rusher and Kittle as a blocker. Aiyuk is the least proven of the trio, but also the one whose role is most heavily centered on catching passes.
