BDGE Fantasy Football on Brandon Aiyuk
From the video
Brandon Iayuk, he has officially been reinstated by the NFL. He is unlikely to ever play for the 49ers again... over 750 days since we have seen Brandon Iayuk take the field... suffered a multi-ligament knee tear. He tore his ACL, his MCL, and his meniscus
STACKED’s take
750+ days sidelined with ACL/MCL/meniscus tear; avoid despite reinstatement.
Aiyuk has been officially reinstated by the NFL but is unlikely to play for the 49ers again; granted a two-week roster exemption and most likely to be released and hit free agency. Over 750 days have passed since Aiyuk last played; he suffered a multi-ligament knee tear (ACL, MCL, meniscus) in his last appearance. The source has no visibility into his post-injury condition and cites off-field concerns (Commander/49ers drama) as additional risk. Even if released and picked up by another team mid-season, the timeline for ramp-up, acclimation to a new offense, and becoming fantasy-relevant after two years away is prohibitively difficult. The source strongly recommends avoiding Aiyuk on the waiver wire despite potential interest.
