49ers Talking Trade Regarding Brandon Aiyuk With Draft Looming

Monday, April 20, 7:26 PM

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said at his pre-draft press conference on Monday that he doesn't think there's a "high probability" that the team will trade disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) during the 2026 NFL draft this weekend, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. However, Lynch said there's still a chance Aiyuk is traded, and the team has had talks with specific teams about a potential trade. The Niners are trying to see if they can get anything for the 28-year-old former first-rounder out of Arizona State. If they don't find a trade to their liking, they are expected to release Aiyuk, who missed all of the 2025 season due to a serious knee injury that he suffered early on in 2024. The Washington Commanders are a popular projected landing spot, as it would give him a chance to reunite with quarterback Jayden Daniels, whom he played with in college. Given Aiyuk's uncertain destination in 2026 while coming off a major knee injury, he's a true wild card that will be cheap for fantasy managers in drafts later this year.

Will Garrett Wilson Have a More Stable Environment Around Him in New York Going Forward?

Wednesday, April 1, 7:19 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) battled through a lost season in 2025, as he was limited to just seven games played due to a knee injury. When healthy, Wilson was still productive, recording 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets. The 25-year-old is also expected to make a full recovery and should be healthy and ready to go for the 2026 season. Talent has never been the issue for Wilson, but the offensive environment around him in New York has been questionable for his entire career and profiles similarly in 2026. The Jets acquired veteran quarterback Geno Smith over the offseason, and while Smith is coming off a down year with the Las Vegas Raiders, he's still a savvy veteran who could stabilize the team's passing game. Wilson also remains the only highly established pass catcher in New York, and should be consistently force-fed targets. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should hold Wilson in the hopes that he re-establishes high-end value in 2026.
