Aiyuk brought in five of nine targets for 109 yards in the 49ers' 31-17 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk finished second in receiving yards on the afternoon for the 49ers, eclipsing the century mark for the third time this season in the process. The fourth-year pro has been a solid component of the passing attack throughout the campaign, but he could see his targets take a bit of a hit if Deebo Samuel (shoulder) returns as expected for a Week 10 road matchup against the Jaguars following a Week 9 bye.

Aiyuk had five receptions on six targets for 57 yards in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota,

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk took over as San Francisco's No. 1 wideout with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) expected to miss multiple weeks to injury. The elevated role did not produce more targets for Aiyuk, who finished with a stat line right around the four receptions and 67 yards he averaged over his previous two contests. The 25-year-old is providing steady production through seven weeks, but a recent lack of touchdowns (none since Week 1) has limited his fantasy value. Aiyuk is still considered a strong play heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Bengals on Sunday.

Aiyuk caught four of 10 targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk was the only player with more than four targets for San Francisco in a game that both Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Christian McCaffrey (oblique) left early. He accounted for 76 of Brock Purdy's 125 passing yards, including a pair of catches for 33 yards on San Francisco's final drive, which ended in a 41-yard missed field goal in the final seconds. Regardless of the availability of San Francisco's other playmakers, Aiyuk should maintain a prominent role in Week 7 against the Vikings on MNF. Aiyuk has 25 catches for 454 yards through six games, but he hasn't found the end zone since scoring twice in Week 1.

Aiyuk caught four of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 42-10 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk finished with a modest fantasy line as quarterback Brock Purdy spread the ball around to all of his star playmakers in the blowout victory. Aiyuk's 58 receiving yards wound up being the game high for wideouts from either team Sunday and ranked only behind tight end George Kittle, who had 67 yards to go along with his three touchdown grabs. The fourth-year receiver is now averaging 97.5 yards over four active games this season after gaining 59.7 per game during his breakout campaign last year. Aiyuk and the undefeated 49ers will head out on the road in Week 6 to face the Browns next Sunday.

Aiyuk (shoulder) corralled all six of his targets for 148 yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk was able to return in full capacity after sitting out the 49ers' last game with a minor shoulder injury. The budding fantasy star continued his hot start by breaking the century mark in receiving yards for the second time in three attempts after achieving that feat just once in 2022. Aiyuk has amassed 320 receiving yards on just 20 targets, and Sunday, he put his unique combination of athletic playmaking and sure hands on display against an outmatched Arizona secondary. Now back at full strength, Aiyuk will shift his focus to a Week 4 matchup against a Cowboys team that is without top corner Trevon Diggs (knee) the rest of the season.

Aiyuk (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk has been practicing all week and might have been able to play in last week's game if the 49ers had played on Sunday instead of Thursday. Deebo Samuel took advantage of Aiyuk's absence in the Week 3 win over the Giants with 126 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets, but the dual-threat receiver suffered a rib injury in the process and now is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Facing a vulnerable defense without Samuel in the lineup is a best-case scenario for Aiyuk's expected production, though he still has sturdy touch and target competition coming from tight end George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey.

Aiyuk (shoulder) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the process of shedding his blue non-contact jersey Thursday, Aiyuk maintained his activity level from one day prior, giving him just one more chance to get back to full before the 49ers potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, fellow wide receivers Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) and Jauan Jennings (shin) again didn't practice, so the status of San Francisco's top three wide receivers remains in flux.

Aiyuk (shoulder) wasn't wearing a non-contact jersey at the start of Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Now that Aiyuk seemingly has been cleared to take contact on the practice field, it remains to be seen if he'll log his first uncapped session since injuring his left shoulder Week 2. The 49ers will reveal his activity level later Thursday, at which point the statuses of Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) and Jauan Jennings (shin) also could gain some clarity.

Aiyuk (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk continued playing Week 2 after he hurt his shoulder (against the Rams) but then missed a Week 3 win over the Giants just four days later. Reporters spotted him at practice this Monday, and he's now listed as limited on the first official injury report of the week, while Deebo Samuel (ribs) is a non-participant. Aiyuk appears on track to return for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, with Samuel potentially being the more banged up of the two WRs this week.

Aiyuk (shoulder) was present for Monday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aiyuk was inactive this past Thursday against the Giants, but his presence on the practice field Monday is a positive indicator with regard to his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Cardinals. Wednesday's official practice/injury report will add further context to the wideout's Week 4 status by clarifying his participation level.
