Brandon Aiyuk Solid In Return From Injury

Sunday, October 1, 9:29 PM

On Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk proved he was just fine after missing one week with a shoulder injury. He caught all six of his targets for 148 yards. Aiyuk satisfied wide receiver coaches everywhere with a couple of soft-handed aesthetically pleasing grabs, including a 42-yard deep shot from quarterback Brock Purdy in the second quarter. Thus far in 2023, Purdy has shown good chemistry with Aiyuk, enough to make the latter a weekly solid WR2 play. That said, Aiyuk could be a bit of a fade in Week 5 when the 49ers host an elite Dallas Cowboys defense on Sunday Night Football.

Zay Flowers Sees 10 Targets

Sunday, September 24, 11:25 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the endzone yet this season but he now has caught 21 of his 25 targets through three games. The rookie saw another 10 targets against the Colts and hauled in eight of them for 48 yards while also getting one carry for just two yards. In PPR formats, Flowers has produced reliable fantasy stat lines since he tends to see a lot of close-range targets. The passing game still seems to be working out some kinks, so Flowers and company could improve as the season goes on. Week 4, however, will be a tougher challenge against the Browns defense.
