49ers void WR Brandon Aiyuk's 2026 guarantees

Nov 21, 2025

BREAKING: Brandon Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees were voided by the 49ers, sources tell me and @DMRussini.

Now, 15 months after signing a four-year extension worth $120 million, the two sides appear headed toward a stunning divorce.

Fantasy Impact:

Russini/Silver followed this up by saying, "It’s now likely that he has played his last game with the franchise, according to numerous sources briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. Some in the organization are holding out hope that the relationship can be salvaged enough for him to return this season. However, multiple sources believe that a reconciliation is unlikely."

This is miserable news for those of us who have been stashing Aiyuk away on IR slots all season long, and it looks like he is fine to drop.

Turn back the clock: Philip Rivers elevated, will likely start Sunday

The Colts are elevated quarterback Philip Rivers to their active roster, paving the way for Rivers to make his first start in five years against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

This is really happening. 44-year old Rivers is back in the NFL. And because he was elevated to the active roster, he goes from being a Hall of Fame semifinalist to ineligible for another five years, until the Class of 2031. The Colts are desperate to save a season that has completely flipped, having lost four of five and having lost Daniel Jones for the season. Rivers and Brett Rypien are the two healthy quarterbacks on the roster with Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews good to go, WR Rashod Bateman Questionable for Week 15

Mark Andrew has not game status and is good to go. Rashod Bateman is questionable.

Related Players: Isaiah Likely, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals defense has been so poor against the tight end position, that both Andrews and Likely couldn't legitimately put up top-15 numbers in Week 15.

If Bateman ends up missing, Hopkins could be considered up closer to the WR4/5 range, but there should be better options out there.

Raiders QB Kenny Pickett will get the Week 15 start

Kenny Pickett will, in fact, start against his old team the Eagles, Pete Carroll just confirmed.

Related Players: Geno Smith

Fantasy Impact:

This is not a good spot-start situation for Pickett, on a Raiders offense that is one of the hardest to watch in the league. There are better SuperFlex options in Week 15.
