Brandon Aiyuk A Strong WR3 Option In Week 9
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk should be leaned on heavily in the team's Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Aiyuk led the team in both targets (11) and receiving yards (91) in Week 8. This week, the 49ers will be even more short-handed than they were last week as both George Kittle (foot) and Kendrick Bourne (COVID) will be out. Backup quarterback Nick Mullens will make the start in the game, which is a downgrade from Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), but Aiyuk should still see enough opportunities to make up for it. Start him as a solid WR3 option.
