Few players have been more heavily covered than Aiyuk during the offseason thanks to his ongoing contract situation with the club. The 49ers exercised their fifth-year option on the talented wideout, meaning he's set to earn north of $14M in 2024, but his future beyond that is cloudy. He's said that the team doesn't want him back, yet also noted that he'd "for sure" like to return. It could all be posturing, though like with Samuel, the team was reportedly open for business on trade talks.
While Samuel has seen his production wane, Aiyuk has seen his rise year on year, breaking the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in 2022 and then following that up with a 75-1342-7 season last year as he emerged as Purdy's go-to guy -- his 17.9 yards per catch was second among qualified pass catchers behind Pittsburgh's George Pickens (18.1). He's powerfully built, makes big plays and has been highly durable during his four NFL campaigns.
Under the current CBA, a holdout is extremely unlikely once training camp starts. Yes, given that the 49ers used their top pick on WR Ricky Pearsall, the odds are either Aiyuk or Samuel will be gone in 2025. That shouldn't matter to fantasy owners, and Aiyuk has earned his spot as a top-20 fantasy receiver and a superior option to Samuel.

 Deebo Samuel expected to miss multiple games
Suffered a calf strain in Week 2
By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 16, 11:30 pm
|  | More: 49ers WR Deebo Samuel strained his calf Sunday and is expected to miss a couple weeks, per HC Kyle Shanahan. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: A "couple weeks" suggests that Samuel is dealing with a Grade 1 strain, since a Grade 2 strain usually means an athlete will be sidelined for at least a month. San Francisco will almost certainly rely more heavily on George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk in the passing game now without Samuel around. Jauan Jennings will start in Samuel's place and could be worth starting in deeper leagues. Considering how often Samuel was seeing work out of the backfield, look for rookie Isaac Guerendo to spell Jordan Mason.
| CMC, Brandon Aiyuk practice on Tuesday
RB was sidelined with minor calf issue; WR returns after long hold-in
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 3, 11:50 pm
| | 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk and RB Christian McCaffrey back at practice on Tuesday… (ESPN.com - Nick Wagoner)
FFToday's Take: The news millions of fantasy managers wanted to hear. By all accounts, McCaffrey's calf issue was a minor one that either he or the team (if not both) treated conservatively. All fantasy managers - especially those with CMC - would be wise to stash Jordan Mason just in case. As far as Aiyuk is concerned, managers may want to sit him if possible this week. The Jets' secondary is about as stingy as it gets and Aiyuk could be on something of a snap count.
| 49ers, Brandon Aiyuk agree on contract extension
Hold-in over
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 29, 6:57 pm
| | In the end, Brandon Aiyuk accepted the same deal that has been on the table since August. 10, per league sources. His hold-in did not alter any part of his new four-year, $120 million extension. He took the same deal that had been there for the past three weeks. Hold-in over. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Trade deals were in the works with New England, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but in the end, Aiyuk stays in San Francisco. It just so happens the 49ers are the best team for his fantasy value. His coming off his best season (75-1342-7) as a pro finishing as the WR12 in Half-PPR leagues. Despite missing all of training camp, he'll remain a high-end WR2 heading into a huge draft weekend.
| WR Ricky Pearsall dealing with hamstring injury
49ers WR will start camp on PUP
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Jul 23, 2:03 pm
| | 49ers first-round pick Ricky Pearsall injured his hamstring and will open training camp on PUP. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's never good for rookies to miss time during minicamp or training camp as they need all the reps they can get in order build chemistry with their quarterback and learn the offense. Pearsall is on on the fringes of fantasy relevancy in redraft leagues as long as Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk remain healthy and on the team.
| Brandon Aiyuk has officially requested a trade
Veterans report to 49ers camp next week
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Jul 16, 1:01 pm
| | Source: #49ers All-Pro WR Brandon Aiyuk has officially requested a trade after an offseason of unsuccessful attempts to reach an extension.
Despite a recent meeting, the Niners haven’t been willing to engage in negotiations since May so Aiyuk has respectfully asked out. (Mike Garafolo on X)
FFToday's Take: Aiyuk has been seeking a new contract this off-season but the two sides haven't been able to come to an agreement. He's scheduled to receive $14.1 million in 2024. With him being under contract and the cost of WRs continuing to climb, it's unlikely he'll be moved unless the 49ers get blown away with an offer.
