49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) uncertain for Week 3

NBC Sports Bay Area

Sep 18, 2023 · 3:12 PM EDT

In the middle of a busy Monday as the 49ers prepare to face the New York Giants on a short week, the team was uncertain about the status of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

Aiyuk sustained a left shoulder injury during the opening drive of the 49ers’ Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

He made a diving 13-yard reception and landed hard on the artificial surface at SoFi Stadium.

“It’s too early to have all the answers to the injuries, yet,” Shanahan told local reporters on a conference call.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk’s availability appears to be the 49ers’ biggest injury concern entering the Week 3 game. The story added Aiyuk played 30 of the 49ers’ 57 offensive plays, as the 49ers mixed in rookie wide receiver Ronnie Bell and Jauan Jennings, each of whom was on the field for 27 snaps. Aiyuk owners will likely want to come up with a backup plan now since it's a short week for the Niners.

49ers exercise fifth-year option on WR Brandon Aiyuk

GM John Lynch announced the 49ers have exercised the 2024 fifth-year option for receiver Brandon Aiyuk, valued at $14.1 million, but declined the option for defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw. The 49ers had previously hinted that they’d make both of these moves, which are obviously tethered to the fact that Aiyuk has been productive — he notched a 1,000-yard season in 2022 — while Kinlaw has struggled to stay available due to knee issues.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers did add former Alabama tight end Cameron Latu, but we should expect them to add more talent to their pass-catching group before the draft is over. They have six late-round picks to do so, and whether or not any of those picks hit may effect the team's long-term view of Brandon Aiyuk.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel has an MCL sprain

Update from the 49ers: Deebo Samuel has a MCL sprain and an ankle sprain and he's expected to return at some point during the regular season.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a bummer for the team and fantasy purposes, as this impacts the playoff implications for both facets. If you don't have an IR spot, it may be a waste of a spot for Deebo if he isn't going to return before Week 17.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel limited for second straight practce

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was limited for the second straight practice

Related Players: Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, Jauan Jennings

Fantasy Impact:

If Deebo were to miss, it's possible that there's a little more touchdown equity for the receiving corps as well as Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell. Samuel hasn't been used as often in the run game as he was in 2021, but he does have two rushing TDs on the season.
