Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Travis Hunter

Wednesday, September 17, 9:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was spotted doing some running on the side during Wednesday's practice. It sounds like Aiyuk is continuing to make progress, but is still going to be sidelined for a few weeks. He's currently on the physically unable to perform list through Week 4. There haven't been many updates on his status lately. The assumption is that Aiyuk should be ready to play around Week 5 or 6, but there should be a better timetable closer to that date. Aiyuk should be stashed in most 12-team formats as he'll likely be a focal point of the offense once he's ready to play.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's impact has been limited through the first two games of the season, according to a report from Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Although the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft saw increased snaps on both sides of the ball in Week 2, his overall usage is still developing. Hunter missed time during training camp due to an upper-body injury, which may have contributed to his slow start. He has accumulated 55 receiving yards on offense, along with three tackles and one pass defended on defense so far. Considering his demanding two-way role, fantasy managers should regard Hunter as a long-term hold in dynasty leagues and a wait-and-see option in all other formats.
