News: 17 hours agoAiyuk (shoulder) corralled all six of his targets for 148 yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals.

Spin: Aiyuk was able to return in full capacity after sitting out the 49ers' last game with a minor shoulder injury. The budding fantasy star continued his hot start by breaking the century mark in receiving yards for the second time in three attempts after achieving that feat just once in 2022. Aiyuk has amassed 320 receiving yards on just 20 targets, and Sunday, he put his unique combination of athletic playmaking and sure hands on display against an outmatched Arizona secondary. Now back at full strength, Aiyuk will shift his focus to a Week 4 matchup against a Cowboys team that is without top corner Trevon Diggs (knee) the rest of the season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Aiyuk's pro career had a bit of bizarre setback in his second season back in 2021, but it's fair to say he got back in track in 2022. San Francisco's top perimeter receiver set career-high marks in targets, receptions, yardage and TDs en route to a 15th-place finish in fantasy points (24th in PPG). Aiyuk's production was a bit volatile and he got very lucky in the TD department (his three end zone targes ranked 82nd at WR), but a 23% target share in a Kyle Shanahan offense is nothing to sneeze at. The 49ers' QB situation is uncertain and Aiyuk has substantial target competition in Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, but the 25-year-old former first-round pick will see enough work to deliver WR3/flex numbers.
