49ers "don't think" WR Brandon Aiyuk will be cleared for Week 1, no official timetable for comeback

Aug 07, 2025

49ers GM John Lynch “doesn’t think” WR Brandon Aiyuk will be cleared for Week 1, but no official timetable set for ACL/MCL comeback.

Fantasy Impact:

This comes as no surprise, as we hadn't expected him to return until sometime in mid-season. Aiyuk should be passed over until late in drafts until we get some sort of concrete timetable, which may hint that he doesn't become fantasy-viable until at least the second half of the season. Jennings and Pearsall remain great mid-round picks.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin likely to return "Week 5 or later"

Talking on @953WDAE, Bucs GM Jason Licht frames Chris Godwin’s return as likely October (Week 5 or later), saying Tristan Wirfs might be a little sooner.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan

Fantasy Impact:

This is about the timeline that we thought he'd be on, but it's still a little confusing why the team took him off of PUP. Regardless, we should consider Evans a WR2 and Egbuka a WR3 as we head into drafts this weekend.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill returns to practice, expected to be ready for Week 1

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a minor procedure. Goal is “Septemberish” return per HC Mike McDaniel. Expected to miss multiple weeks.

Miami signing RBs JaMycal Hasty & Jeff Wilson to practice squad.

McDaniel: De’Von Achane (calf) & Tyreek Hill (oblique) on track to play WK1.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington

Fantasy Impact:

After a summer filled with bad vibes, it's good to see Hill back out on the practice field. He's been a bit of a shy-away through most of drafting season, but now he's often falling into the fourth round, it makes selecting him a little easier to swallow. With or without Hill, Waddle is a sneaky upside target after a down year.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright to miss "some time" after "small procedure"

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a "small procedure" done that isn't season-ending but will take some time to recover from, per McDaniel

Miami has signed RBs Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty in response

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon

Fantasy Impact:

This looks like wheels-up for Ollie Gordon, who has been steamed up after Wright missed time this preseason. Achane is still the back we want in this backfield, but Gordon looks like a great double-digit stab who could mix in enough to warrant FLEX appeal during bye weeks.
