49ers Beat: WR Brandon Aiyuk appears to have moved up depth chart

San Francisco Chronicle

Sep 28, 2021 · 11:28 AM EDT

Brandon Aiyuk is evidently now better than the guy behind him.

Two weeks after the 49ers’ wide receiver played one fewer snap than one of his backups, Trent Sherfield, the 2020 first-round pick received his typical rookie-season workload in Sunday’s 30-28 loss to the Packers while Sherfield barely appeared on offense.

Total snaps: Aiyuk 60, Sherfield 2.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk played 85.7% of the snaps Sunday. According to the story, he had logged 51.2% in the first two regular-season games and played just 13 more snaps than Sherfield, a 2018 undrafted free agent who entered the season with 30 career catches. Aiyuk’s diminished playing time suggested head coach Kyle Shanahan was sending a motivational message, the story said. It's good news for owners that he's trending up. If he's sitting on your wire, he may be worth a stash, especially if this trend continues.

Shanahan: Brandon Aiyuk tweaked hamstring before Week 3 of preseason

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday that WR Brandon Aiyuk tweaked his hamstring prior to Week 3 of the preseason, leading to a lower snap count Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

After a strong 2020 rookie season, it would have taken a lot of negative play/feedback to keep Aiyuk off the field so an injury makes perfect sense for a limited role. This is now an issue that deserves attention weekly/daily.

49ers: WR Brandon Aiyuk lost 10 days in camp

On WR Brandon Aiyuk: 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said that WR Trent Sherfield’s ascent in camp, combined with Aiyuk’s recent hamstring issue that cost him 10 day.

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say those were all driving factors in Aiyuk's usage, or lack thereof, in Week 1. While Deebo Samuel went off for 9-189-1, Sherfield caught two balls for 23 yards and a score. It's hard to imagine Aiyuk doesn't earn his way back onto the field sooner than later. This could be the wake-up call to motivate him.
