49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk Ruled Out For Week 3

Shoulder Injury Halts Fantasy Football Surge

Aiyuk's Absence Creates Opportunity For Other Targets

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will miss Thursday's Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to a left shoulder injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The injury occurred during the 49ers' Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Aiyuk, who enjoyed a breakout WR2 performance in fantasy football during Week 1, had emerged as a crucial part of the 49ers' offensive scheme. His absence creates an opportunity for other receivers on the team, such as Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Richie James Jr.

Fantasy football owners will need to adjust their lineups accordingly and consider other roster options. Aiyuk's timeline for return remains uncertain, but his injury is expected to impact the 49ers' receiving corps moving forward.
