Brandon Aiyuk

Brandon Aiyuk caught 8-of-12 targets for 147 yards in the 49ers’ Week 5 loss to the Cardinals.

After totaling just 167 yards in his first four games of the season, Aiyuk erupted for 147 yards on a team-high 12 targets in Sunday’s loss. Aiyuk made several big plays in this one, as three of his receptions went for 20-plus yards on the day. Aiyuk and the 49ers saw their offense stall in the second half — literally. The Cardinals’ defense kept them out of the end zone and off the board, limiting them to just 141 total yards in the second half. Aiyuk was back to his old ways and will be a high-end WR1 in Thursday night’s tilt with the Seahawks, who have struggled mightily against the pass.
