Brandon Aiyuk Leads 49ers In Receiving Against Bills
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught five of his nine targets for a team-high 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel each had nine targets to lead the 49ers while no other 49ers pass catcher had more than six. Quarterback Nick Mullens aired the ball out 39 times in this game as the 49ers attempted to keep pace with the high-scoring Bills. The 39 attempts were a season-high for Mullens and it's tough to expect him to hit that clip most weeks. Still, Aiyuk is someone who should be started as a WR3 in all formats going forward. He's had a great rookie year and is clearly one of the top playmakers on this offense.
