Brandon Aiyuk Faces Solid Defense In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk faces the Washington Commanders in Week 16. The Commanders rank No. 15 in terms of limiting fantasy points from opposing WRs. It is not an extremely tough matchup, but Aiyuk has been underperforming lately. He only caught two passes in each of the past two games and hasn't surpassed 80 yards since Week 10. His decline from his midseason highs is due to a combination of changes to the Niners' offense and poor play by Aiyuk in Weeks 13 and 12. San Fran's passing play percentage is down by five points in its past three games. Aiyuk is talented enough to start if needed, but fantasy managers should consider any higher upside options they might have on their bench.
