Aiyuk looked like one of the league's breakout receivers under Shanahan from 2022-2023, averaging 110 targets, 76.5 receptions, 1,178.5 receiving yards and 7.5 touchdowns, ranking as fantasy's WR19 on a PPG basis.NegativeBustJul 14, 2026
Aiyuk has experienced a catastrophic offseason that has wiped out his dynasty value. After a multi-ligament knee injury in 2024, questions about his commitment to rehabbing, an arrest warrant from a social media stunt, and a very public falling out with Jayden Daniels that derailed his preferred reunion with the Washington Commanders, Aiyuk's career trajectory is now in serious jeopardy. The source warns that dynasty managers should not trade away anything meaningful to acquire him because of the risk that he becomes a total zero and never sets foot on an NFL field again.NegativeValueJul 8, 2026
Aiyuk is trending toward being a zero due to ongoing contract/trade drama and is completely off the board for best ball formats. JJ Zachariason notes the risk of him remaining on the left squad list or not finding a new team makes him a fade in best ball despite potential late-round redraft value if he eventually gets traded; his ADP is finally falling, but there's no point taking on the risk when mystery box rookies and proven veterans who are actually going to play are available.NegativeBustJul 6, 2026
ADP faller (-9.5 spots); biggest riser last week but completely reversed course. In never-ending saga with 49ers, who have yet to release disgruntled receiver. Appeared to be angling for Commanders spot, but took social media shots at former college QB Jayden Daniels, giving Commanders no reason to make life tougher for franchise QB. Should shock no one if Aiyuk doesn't play single snap in 2026-27. After major knee injury, upside not worth potential headache.
