Brandon Aiyuk A High-End WR2 Versus Baltimore

Published: Dec 24, 2023 at 05:41 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will line up against a very tough Baltimore Ravens pass defense on Christmas night in Santa Clara. The Ravens have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers and come into the game at full health. The good news though, is that Aiyuk ranks third among wide receivers at 3.96 yards per route run against man coverage and Baltimore runs man at the 11th-highest rate in the NFL. Last week at Arizona he cooled off, catching three passes for 37 yards after averaging 14.9 half-PPR points per game over his previous six contests. But it seems likely that head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy game-plan into feeding Aiyuk as a counter to Baltimore's elite man defense, making Aiyuk a must-start in most formats in Week 16.
