Brandon Aiyuk a Huge Question Mark for Dynasty Managers

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) tenure with the San Francisco 49ers is most likely coming to an end sooner rather than later, but since we don't yet know his next destination, it's extremely difficult to gauge his value in dynasty/keeper leagues.
