Commanders Growing Wary of Potentially Adding Brandon Aiyuk?

Tuesday, June 30, 9:35 AM

The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala suggests that the Washington Commanders might be shying away from considering adding veteran wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) this offseason if the San Francisco 49ers end up releasing him. The Commanders were interested in Aiyuk enough earlier in the offseason to consider a one-year, highly-incentivized deal if and when the 49ers ever released him. The former first-rounder has clear ties to Washington, as he's close friends with quarterback Jayden Daniels, and general manager Adam Peters was part of San Fran's front office when it drafted Aiyuk in 2020. The Commanders were never going to trade for Aiyuk, but they have been intrigued by the proposition of pairing him with WR1 Terry McLaurin in 2026 and possibly beyond. But since then, Aiyuk has posted erratic Instagram rants that "have created worry about Aiyuk's frame of mind." The Commanders could still consider the 28-year-old before the start of training camp if the Niners release him, but they'd "have to feel incredibly confident that he's fit, physically and emotionally." That is now a big "if" given his recent history and the fallout with the 49ers. On top of that, Aiyuk didn't play at all in 2025 due to a season-ending knee injury in 2024. It goes without saying that Aiyuk will be a massive question mark wherever he's playing in 2026.

Is Garrett Wilson a WR1 in 2026?

Thursday, June 25, 5:37 AM

Before a knee injury ended his 2025 campaign, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson was the WR5 through the first five weeks of the season. Heading into 2026 healthy and in what looks to be an uptrending offense, Wilson has the potential to volume his way to a top 10 finish over a full season. The Jets spent first-round picks on tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., moves that could help elevate the offense as a whole without adding insurmountable competition for Wilson's targets. In his first full season with the team, Adonai Mitchell looks to handle WR2 responsibilities, though his game has been predicted more on big plays than volume, and in Frank Reich's mesh-heavy offense, Wilson should be given ample opportunity to work with the ball in space. New York traded for quarterback Geno Smith, who now faces allegations of battery but has not been charged, so while his legal situation warrants monitoring, he still represents an upgrade at the position. In a best-case scenario, Wilson's ceiling is as high as nearly any receiver currently being drafted outside of the first two rounds, and at RotoBaller's WR14, he's one of the last players that drafters should feel comfortable enough to make their WR1 in a running back-heavy build.
