Week 16 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Brandon Aiyuk had a quiet game against the Cardinals last week, catching three of his five targets for 37 yards. Aiyuk seems to be a bit more volatile in targets with a full arsenal available in San Francisco, though he’s still getting enough looks to be fantasy relevant, and his six touchdowns this season have really helped offset the inconsistent usage. He had six straight games with double-digit points prior to last week, aided by a four-game scoring streak.
This week, Aiyuk faces a Baltimore defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. In a tough matchup and with so much of the offense running through Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel right now, we have Aiyuk ranked as a WR2 option, instead of in WR1 territory. Temper expectations, but he should still be active in all leagues.
