49ers Expected To Hold Brandon Aiyuk

Monday, March 31, 3:16 PM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the San Francisco 49ers are not expected to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee). The sixth-year pro will be due a bonus of $22.85 million on Tuesday if he is on the team's roster. Aiyuk exploded in 2023 with a 75-1,342-7 line and signed a four-year $120 million contract extension as a reward. However, a torn ACL and MCL in Week 7 of 2024 cut his season short, though it's worth noting he wasn't overly productive before the injury. The 49ers have already flipped one star wideout this offseason, sending Deebo Samuel Sr. to the Washington Commanders, so it is in the team's best interest to hold Aiyuk despite the hit to their cap. There is still no timetable for the 27-year-old's return, but he recently got good reviews regarding his recovery. He'll compete with teammates George Kittle and Jauan Jennings for targets when he's healthy.

Jets Plan To Get Garrett Wilson The Ball "As Much As Possible"

Tuesday, April 1, 11:06 PM

New York Jets new head coach Aaron Glenn called wide receiver Garrett Wilson a "dynamic player" and said the team is going to look to get him the ball "as much as possible." That was expected to be the case as soon as the Jets decided to move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and receiver Davante Adams. Wilson was still a top-12 fantasy receiver in half-PPR scoring last year despite Adams taking away valuable targets, but the 24-year-old's upside will be even higher as the unquestioned WR1 for new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, especially if they are force-feeding him targets. Fields has plenty left to prove as a passer, but it will be a bonus that Wilson and Fields already have plenty of chemistry from their days playing together in college at Ohio State. The volume should be there, but efficiency will be a question mark for Wilson, who should be considered a legitimate WR1 in fantasy.
