BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk broke out of his slump last weekend as he caught a season-high eight passes for 147 yards and should be viewed as a high-end WR2 on Thursday evening.
Through the first four weeks of the season, Aiyuk struggled as he averaged just 41.8 yards per game. During this stretch, he never scored higher than 10.0 PPR points.
In Week 5 he was able to find his footing as he scored 22.7 PPR points. Last season, Aiyuk posted a career-high 1,342 yards with seven scores on 75 receptions.
On Thursday, the 49ers may need to rely on their passing attack to keep up with the high-scoring Seattle offense. As a result, Aiyuk should be viewed as a solid WR2 with upside for a favorable game script.

That didn't happen in Week […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
