Brandon Aiyuk A Great Option In Week 5

Brandon Aiyuk A Great Option In Week 5

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is an attractive option for fantasy lineups despite a tough matchup when the Dallas Cowboys visit Santa Clara on Sunday night. In Week 4 versus Arizona, Aiyuk caught all six of his targets for 148 yards. Dallas comes into the game as the second-ranked pass defense in the NFL, only allowing 148 yards per game through the air. However, Aiyuk is set up for success, schematically. Dallas has the second-highest rate of man coverage in the NFL and Aiyuk has the most fantasy points per route run against man coverage of all receivers. Start Aiyuk as a low-end WR1 and watch what promises to be an exciting matchup of strength on strength.
