Brandon Aiyuk May Struggle In Week 14 With New QB
Published: Dec 09, 2022 at 11:09 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is a risky start against a tough Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 14. Not only are the Bucs allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game and the 11th-fewest fantasy points to WRs, but Aiyuk also has to deal with having a rookie quarterback at the helm. Brock Purdy was competent in leading the offense, but he targets the underneath more often than the previous quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, while Aiyuk is extremely effective at medium and deep depths. Aiyuk's total yards, yards per reception, and average depth of target were all down last week, with Purdy under center. Aiyuk is still worthy of starting at flex, but don't be surprised if he underperforms WR3 status again.
