Seems like he's good to bench for the time being.

WR Brandon Aiyuk, SF (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter Mr. Irrelevant
- Start date

I drafted him to be a stud for me and while I've been disappointed with his first 2 weeks, I'm expecting him to turn it up and become a top 10 WR the next 2-3 weeks. Not sure where he finishes once those guys are back, but I drafted him to be a top tier WR for me and that's what I think will happen, health willing! *KNOCK ON WOOD*

If Shanahan is still mad, he'll have Purdy throw to anyone and everyone who doesn't have #11 on his jersey.

No CMC, No Deebo and likely no Kittle... big BA days ahead.

Starting to hit panic mode with this guy. Any insight from those that watched the game on why he is not producing?

His hands have developed an allergic reaction to pigskin.

Better than not being able to get open I suppose…

Weird game. I don't think Aiyuk even looked that bad. He drew a lot of attention which led to Jennings going off for 175 and 3. Jennings also played out of his mind so Purdy kept going to him.

For $30M I expect the guy to catch pretty much anything that hits him in the hands. It’s been a very disappointing start to the season.

Not disagreeing at all with that. He had no issues with drops last year, hopefully can find his rhythm again.

He's a buy low, right?
He's been super disappointing. He's probably not where he needs to be after the extended hold-in/hold-out, whatever we're calling it. But the volume has been solid.
I said all off-season, I didn't think he'd be nearly as efficient this year and his numbers would come down. I think he's better than what we've seen through 3 games.

Seems like he's finally rounding into game shape. All he needs to do is remember how to catch and he might be fine.
Against the Rams, he had the highest separation win rate of any WR this season.

Not sure how they measure those stats but it is nice to see a positive with BA. Hopefully he can start putting together some production, I imagine he is feeling a little heat.Seems like he's finally rounding into game shape. All he needs to do is remember how to catch and he might be fine.

I'm not going to sell him for cheap but I think I'll be rolling with Shakir over him.
Not a chance.

I don't think this is a terrible take. I have both and I'm still going with Aiyuk, mainly because Purdy has (once again) silenced the naysayers and proven he belongs in this league as an excellent quarterback. But the Bills are firing on all cylinders and they don't have a clear-cut #1. Shakir's role seems to be growing and they seem to be a better team than SF with the current state of injuries. So choosing that WR over this one doesn't seem crazy to me.
I'm just assuming that Aiyuk will round into form as he gets deeper into the season, and they're definitely hurting for reliable receiving options so I'll likely stick with him. But considering Shakir seems logical to me as well.

have to wonder who Gonzalez covers this week?

It almost happened last week - he nearly missed a couple big plays and a TD. Was tackled at the goal line I believe an had over 100 unrealized air yards.Seems like he's finally rounding into game shape. All he needs to do is remember how to catch and he might be fine.

I think I need to send some trade offers out, especially with all their other playmakers injured.

Millions of dollars paid out and entering not-startable range.

He's a JAG. Can't believe San Fran caved and gave him that contract.

I was forced to start both with AJ Brown and Adams out. I went WR with 3 straight picks to start the draft and thought I would be stacked at the position, yet all 3 have killed me this year.
I am getting extremely annoyed of BA. He's had a month now of practices and games, plus major injuries to guys who could eat into his touches, yet he has done nothing.
What gives?
Big Nate

He's not a JAG. He has multiple years of elite play. What are we doing here.
You can say he has not played well this year and is disappointing but he's far from a JAG. Let's revisit this and how it ages for the course of his career.
