Brandon Aiyuk - 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sleepers and Trade Targets

Brandon Aiyuk is a dynasty fantasy football sleeper and trade target for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR31

Dynasty Analysis: 2024 was a disastrous season for Aiyuk. Things got off on the wrong foot when contract negotiations with San Francisco spiraled out of control and led to Aiyuk nearly being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cooler heads prevailed, and Aiyuk signed a four-year deal before the start of the season.

Perhaps the intense negotiations left a bad taste in Aiyuk’s mouth as he didn't have his best year in 2024. He only posted a 25-374-0 line in seven games. Unfortunately, Aiyuk would tear his ACL in a Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs and would miss the rest of the season.

For some reason, Aiyuk is now the dynasty WR35 on KeepTradeCut. This seems like a huge overreaction to a down season and subsequent ACL injury, as he was ranked as high as WR12 in the weeks before the 2024 season. Yes, he could miss time to start 2025 recovering from his knee injury, but WR35? It seems that dynasty gamers have forgotten how talented Aiyuk is.

This all feels like a massive overcorrection for a player who may have been a tad overvalued entering 2024. He is still locked in with San Francisco for at least two more years and now has less target competition with Deebo Samuel Sr. out of the mix.

It’s crazy how quickly people have turned on Brandon Aiyuk. He was a top 10 WR and an All-Pro for the 49ers in 2023 pic.twitter.com/a4EKHJG1vY

Take advantage of the dip in Aiyuk’s value and get him on your team. He may not have the best 2025, but he should be fully healthy again once 2026 rolls around. We already know Aiyuk is one of the best route runners in the league and can be a great dynasty asset functioning as the X receiver in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
