Brandon Aiyuk Sets Career Highs In All Receiving Categories
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught four passes for 59 yards in the Niners' 38-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was targeted five times. The 49ers, who were leading by a large margin throughout the second half, only threw the ball 20 times and ran it 37 times. If they advance deep into the playoffs, you can expect they might be involved in closer games, which would mean more opportunities for Aiyuk and the receivers. Aiyuk finished the season with 78 receptions on 114 targets for 1,015 yards and eight touchdowns. The 24-year-old set career highs in all major receiving categories. His prospects for 2023, which will be his contract year, depend in part on what the Niners choose to do at quarterback and whether Trey Lance, if he starts next season, can lead a productive passing offense.
