One of the 49ers biggest needs entering the 2020 NFL Draft was a receiver they can pair with Deebo Samuel after losing Emmanuel Sanders in Free Agency. Enter first round selection Brandon Aiyuk. One of my favorite receivers throughout the evaluation process, Aiyuk displays an ability to get open anywhere on the football field. His best ability might be his prowess after the catch. We all got a glimpse of what Deebo could do last season paired with the imagination of head coach Kyle Shanahan, getting him the ball in space. Aiyuk might very well be this year’s Deebo Samuel as he is a playmaker before the catch, as a runner on jet sweeps, and after the catch. Another big break for Aiyuk’s fantasy projections was the off-season injury to Samuel who broke a bone in his foot. The timetable for return is around 3 months but I don’t think the 49ers take any chances and rush their star receiver back after the issues they had with Trent Taylor’s recovery last season with that very same injury. Aiyuk is a guy to target.
