Brandon Aiyuk

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports Brandon Aiyuk is “set for a bit of a reduction” in snaps in Week 1 against the Jets.

Per Wagoner, left tackle Trent Williams should see something close to his usual workload. Kyle Shanahan told reporters he “didn’t know” how much Aiyuk will play. Shanny did say that Aiyuk normally plays the entire game but he would be surprised if the star receiver saw that much work in Week 1. Aiyuk spent most of the summer “holding in”, meaning he wasn’t practicing with the team until late in the offseason. Even with a reduction in snaps, most fantasy managers have to take the gamble and play San Francisco’s most efficient pass-catcher. Aiyuk ranks as a high-end WR2 for Week 1.
