STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Aiyuk's reinstatement status unresolved; must file paperwork to play.

Aiyuk remains on the left squad list and cannot play for any team until he files paperwork to apply for reinstatement; his social media activity and contract holdout have scared teams off from trading for him, leaving his fantasy availability unresolved heading into training camp.
