Fantasy Impact:
Aiyuk tore his ACL and MCL in the second quarter of the 49ers' Week 7 game, making this a roughly one-year recovery timeline, which is reasonable for his injury. With a multi-ligament tear, there is concern that he will not be at full strength this season, and San Francisco could rely on WRs Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings instead. His recovery will be important to monitor as the season progresses with his average draft position of WR49 only a few spots behind Pearsall and Jennings, according to FantasyPros' data.
