Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Malik Nabers

Sunday, September 1, 4:08 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk recently agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract extension, which included $76 million guaranteed. Although ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that was the same deal that "had been on the table," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler stated Aiyuk's decision to sign was based on wanting to get on the field. "Aiyuk wanted to play in games," said Fowler while appearing on NFL Live. "He didn't want to sit out and hold out of that portion of it. And then he was comfortable with the contract." The 26-year-old appeared in 16 games for the Niners last season, amassing a career-high 1,342 receiving yards with 75 catches and seven touchdowns. Without question, the end of the lengthy contract dispute has already resulted in Aiyuk seeing more attention during fantasy drafts heading into the 49ers' Week 1 meeting with the New York Jets.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is poised for a potential fantasy breakout in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. Following an impressive preseason, the rookie has demonstrated his big-play potential and ability to stretch the field, which aligns well with the Vikings' vulnerability to passing yards. Nabers' speed and route-running could exploit this weakness, with the Giants likely to target him frequently to showcase his explosive plays. Nabers is a flex option at the very least, especially in deeper leagues, making him a player to watch this week.
