"Aiyuk is back in San Francisco for his sixth NFL campaign, but he's expected to miss roughly half of the season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in October. Aiyuk had just received a contract extension, which followed back-to-back top-15 fantasy seasons, including a 2023 campaign in which he produced a career-high 1,342 yards (seventh among WRs) and ranked top 5 at the position in yards per reception, yards per target and yards per route run. Even prior to the injury, however, Aiyuk was underperforming last season, scoring zero TDs and reaching double-digit fantasy points once in seven games. Aiyuk is still in his prime at age 27, but it's unclear when he'll return, how effective he'll be, and how much work he'll be given in a fairly crowded offense. Aiyuk is only worth late-round consideration in deep leagues."


"Aiyuk's recovery remains on track, but given the severity of the injury he's working back from, he's not considered a candidate to be ready for the start of training camp late July. The 49ers haven't yet offered a tangible timetable for Aiyuk's expected return, but he's remaining involved at team activities despite not being ready to handle on-field work. While it's still possible Aiyuk is ready for the start of the regular season after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee last October, it's not a guarantee he'll be back to 100 percent form at any point in 2025. Even considering his deflated ADP in 2025 fantasy drafts, Aiyuk has to be considered a high-risk, high-upside selection. As he heads into the second season of the four-year, $120 million extension he inked with the 49ers last offseason, though, Aiyuk remains positioned to lead San Francisco's wide receiver corps when fully healthy."

"After three seasons playing a depth role, Jennings enjoyed a breakout in 2024. The 2020 seventh-round pick soaked up a 25% target share en route to a top-30 finish among WRs in targets, catches, yards, TDs, end zone targets and fantasy points (27th in PPG). His 46.5-point effort in Week 3 was the third-highest total posted in a single week last season. Jennings' usage benefited from injuries above him on the depth chart, but with Deebo Samuel Sr. gone and Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss roughly half the season, he's again ticketed for a big role in 2025. Jennings, who ranked 11th among WRs in yards per route run, is a viable flex target, though a slow start is possible after he missed significant chunk of offseason activities."


"The 49ers' offense never got on track, meaning none of their skill-position players managed a notable performance. Positively, Jennings did maintain a key role, finishing third on the team with six targets. His most impactful play was a 16-yard reception early in the fourth quarter that got San Francisco into the red zone. Overall, Jennings couldn't replicate his 2024 season, but he still ended the regular season with 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine scores across 15 contests."

"Higgins signed an extension with the Bengals during the offseason and will return as Ja'Marr Chase's running mate. Higgins has struggled with injuries (he's missed action in four straight seasons), but he's been very impactful when healthy. In 12 games last season, Higgins posted career-high marks in TDs (10) and fantasy PPG (18.5), both of which ranked top 6 at the position. Higgins was a top-20 fantasy scorer in seven of his 12 active weeks. The 26-year-old may be the clear No. 2 behind Chase, but he also benefits from the league's pass-heaviest offense with an elite QB in Joe Burrow. Higgins is a good WR2 target."


"The 26-year-old wideout set a new career high with his 11th TD reception of the season on a 13-yard connection with Joe Burrow in the second quarter. Higgins missed time once again in 2025 due to injuries, but he still posted a 59-846-11 line on 98 targets over 15 games. Ja'Marr Chase's presence caps Higgins' volume, but he remains one of the most productive No. 2 WRs in the league."
