Brandon Aiyuk scores the game-winning touchdown on Sunday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught 6-of-11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown while adding one carry for four yards in a 26-23 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk was second on the team with 11 targets while tight end George Kittle led the way with 15. The second-year wideout appeared to secure a touchdown in the third quarter but the call was overturned as replay revealed that he didn't get his second foot down in bounds. He ended up making up for it with a game-winning 12-yard catch and run score late in overtime. Aiyuk is averaging nearly 7.5 targets per game over the last seven weeks and should continue to command a solid target share with Deebo Samuel spending most of his time in the San Francisco backfield. Consider Aiyuk a solid WR2 next week when the 49ers host the Falcons.
