Lynch: WR Brandon Aiyuk, QB Trey Lance have 'incredible' chemistry

Aug 25, 2022

During an appearance on KNBR this week, 49ers General Manager John Lynch said that he doesn’t think anyone has worked harder than Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. He also noted that Aiyuk’s “chemistry is incredible” with quarterback Trey Lance because of the work they did together before training camp and predicted that those things will translate to big things on the field.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk has had a great camp and continues his trend of positive press nearly every day. The story said Aiyuk commented in May that he was working to “really maximize my spot” in the team’s offense this year and it sounds like he’s done a good job of doing that over the last few months. Aiyuk could give you nice fantasy value with his current ADP of the late eighth round in 12 team leagues.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
