The 49ers have ruled out WR Brandon Aiyuk for the remainder of the game with the Chiefs due to a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Aiyuk was carted off the field with what appeared to be a significant knee injury. He will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. He caught 2-of-6 targets for 23 yards prior to the injury.
Brandon Aiyuk caught two of four targets for 37 yards in the 49ers 36-24 win over Seattle on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Aiyuk was quiet after his big game on Sunday, a letdown for his fantasy managers for sure. It seems like the 49ers will be a revolving door of good performances between Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel as long as all three are healthy. Aiyuk will look to get back on track against the Chiefs next week.
