Brandon Aiyuk Has Knee Surgery

Friday, November 15, 7:10 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) had surgery on his right knee earlier this week to fix a torn ACL and other damage. In addition to tearing his ACL, Aiyuk also tore his MCL in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and will miss the rest of the season. He should have already been dropped in single-season fantasy leagues. It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old will make enough progress in his rehab in the offseason in order to be ready to play in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season next fall. For the rest of 2024, receivers Deebo Samuel Sr. and Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle should be the most-targeted pass-catchers, with rookie first-rounder Ricky Pearsall also seeing an expanded role in the passing attack. Aiyuk was an absolute fantasy bust this year, finishing with 25 catches for 374 yards and no touchdowns in seven games.

Malik Nabers Hauls In Seven Receptions In Week 16

Sunday, December 22, 6:00 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hauled in seven receptions for 68 yards on 14 targets in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Despite leading the team in targets, Nabers could only secure half of them, averaging 9.7 yards per reception with a long of 21 yards. The inefficiency highlighted the struggles of Drew Lock under center, as the Giants' passing attack failed to generate consistent production. Nabers' 10.3 fantasy points were serviceable, but his ceiling remains capped in an offense plagued by quarterback inconsistency and an inability to sustain drives.
