Brandon Aiyuk Week 13 Outlook - 49ers at Eagles

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 30th 2023, 1:05pm EST

Aiyuk is the WR12 in fantasy while leading the 49ers in deep targets (14). His issue remains with his lack of a red zone role, with only one target inside the 20-yard line since Week 4. Aiyuk won't need the red zone looks this week, though. Since Week 7, the Eagles have operated with the seventh-highest rate of man coverage (33.5%) and with 57% of their defensive snaps in single-high (PHI: fourth-highest fantasy points per dropback allowed in single-high). Aiyuk has destroyed single-high and man coverage, with Samuel in the lineup leading the team in target share, air-yard share, and YPRR against both. Adding Aiyuk's deep pass game role on top of this, he is set to smash this week. Since Week 7, the Eagles are tied for the most receiving touchdowns allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
