BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~63 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~74
ANALYSIS:
Brandon Aiyuk has not been overlooked during the offseason as his outlook for 2023 has become a popular topic, However, he remains undervalued at his ADP in FFPC and NFFC leagues amid the ongoing debate surrounding his potential to build upon the career-best numbers that he assembled in 2022.
His immense talent has blended favorably with his prospects of generating yardage and fantasy points while performing his role in San Francisco’s offense. His continued development has also accelerated his emergence as a dynamic weapon and could also propel him to outputs that exceed the results that he delivered last season.

Aiyuk operated with a career-high 91% snap share during 2022, which placed him ninth among all wide receivers. He also collected a career-best 114 targets (6.7 per game), while eclipsing his previous highs in red zone targets (15), routes run (398), air yards (1,105), yards before catch (629), receiving yards (1,015/59.7 per game), and receptions (78/4.6 per game), leading the 49ers in each of those categories. He also established career highs in targets per route run (29.6%), yards per route run (2.55), yards after catch (388), and touchdowns (eight), while averaging 13.4 points per game.
The optimism that has materialized in recent months has been offset by concern that competing for targets with Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey, will impede Aiyuk from accumulating the numbers that he could otherwise provide in a different environment. However, there is also a rationale for believing that Aiyuk will generate the most prolific numbers of his career even though touches will be shared among the 49ers’ cluster of dynamic weapons.

Aiyuk’s exceptional abilities as a route-runner, his potential to ignite for significant yardage, and his chance to operate in an attack that is designed by Shanahan should supersede any uneasiness regarding his potential to ascend into a higher tier. He can deliver WR2 production, that would exceed the expectations of his current ADPs in FFPC's best ball leagues (69/WR30), and NFFC leagues (67/WR32).
