Brandon Aiyuk A WR2 In Arizona

11 months ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is on quite the productive streak following a Week 14 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He failed to score a touchdown for the first time in four contests, but his six catches -- which yielded 126 yards receiving -- were his highest total since Week 3. Aiyuk has a fairly good matchup on Sunday, as the Arizona Cardinals have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers but that matchup juice is more likely to be enjoyed by Deebo Samuel than Aiyuk. Many of Aiyuk's greatest successes this year have come against man coverage and Arizona plays the fourth-most zone in the NFL. That's not to say Aiyuk has struggled against zone coverage -- he's top five in fantasy points per route run versus zone -- just that Samuel has been even better and there are only so many targets and touchdowns to go around in San Francisco. Start Aiyuk as a high-end WR2 in Week 15.
