Brandon Aiyuk News
Monday, November 9, 11:59 AM
The NFL has reinstated San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the Reserve/Left Squad list, per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Pelissero also reports that the league has granted San Francisco a two-week roster exemption, giving the team a brief window to make a roster move. Aiyuk has not appeared in an NFL game since tearing his ACL midway through the 2024 season. While he is apparently healthy and looking to get back into the league, it seems unlikely that he'll be welcomed back in San Francisco after essentially abandoning the team for the 2025 campaign. Aiyuk was a very productive player in his last fully healthy season in 2023, recording 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games. Aiyuk could be worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues just in case he winds up in a new situation and gets back on the field for the second half of the 2026 season.

Andrei Iosivas News
Monday, November 9, 10:17 AM
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that wide receiver Andrei Iosivas (thumb) is doing well, and they will "continue to work through this week and see where it ends up," according to Laurel Pfahler. Iosivas has been on Injured Reserve since Sept. 26 after having left-thumb surgery, but it sounds like the Bengals are leaving the door open for the 27-year-old to potentially return this weekend against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Dohnte Meyers has been serving as the Bengals' WR3 in Iosivas' absence, but it has not led to any real standalone fantasy value behind Pro Bowl pass-catchers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Iosivas had only three catches on four targets for 19 yards without a touchdown in the first two games of the 2026 season before injuring his thumb. In the big shadows of both Chase and Higgins, Iosivas belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues, even when he is back to full health.
