Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Michael Wilson

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is getting "closer and closer" to returning to practice following his ACL and MCL tears in his right knee in Week 7 of last year. While the Niners aren't giving any specific date for a potential return to the practice field for Aiyuk, Shanahan mentioned Week 10 as a rough estimate, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Despite the Niners also dealing with injuries to receivers Jauan Jennings (ribs) and Ricky Pearsall and tight end George Kittle (hamstring), Aiyuk isn't going to be rushed back. And even if Aiyuk does return to practice ahead of the team's Week 10 game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, it doesn't mean the former first-rounder would be active for his season debut that week. Once Aiyuk's practice window is open, the 49ers will have 21 days to officially activate him from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Fantasy managers who are stashing Aiyuk must remain patient.

The Arizona Cardinals announced wide receiver Michael Wilson (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Cards already are beaten up on offense, as the team is playing without running backs James Conner (foot), Trey Benson (knee), and quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) in the game. If Wilson is unable to return, Arizona likely will turn to Greg Dortch and Zay Jones to work behind top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
