How 49ers' Fred Warner elevated Brandon Aiyuk's game by 'annoying' him
Thanks to some goading from Warner, Aiyuk could be poised to break out.
Aug 9 · ESPN 49ers Brandon Aiyuk Fred WarnerBrandon Aiyuk Having Very Strong Camp
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk "has built off his strong finish to 2021, is in phenomenal shape, [and] looks like a complete wide receiver," according to Albert Breer of MMQB. He adds that Aiyuk's ability to beat man coverage could give the 49ers' offense a huge advantage in 2022. Last year was a tale of two stories for the former first-round pick, who had a quiet start to the year. In fact, he was just the WR94 from Weeks 1 to 7. Then, he turned things around, ranking as the WR16 from Week 8 until the end of the season. He projects as a mid-range WR3 this coming season and carries an ADP of 78.

Brandon Aiyuk Has Been The Star Of Training Camp
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been the most impressive player at training camp according to his teammates. Jimmie Ward says the third-year wideout is "having the best camp out of everyone on the team." The former Arizona State star had an outstanding rookie season followed up by a mediocre sophomore year where he struggled at times. Now, the 24-year-old looks like he has taken that next step to be a go-to target for the Trey Lance-led offense. Lance has been working with Aiyuk all offseason, and the two have developed a great rapport during their training sessions. There are a lot of mouths to feed in this run-heavy San Francisco offense, as Deebo Samuel and George Kittle will command significant target volume. However, Aiyuk is still well worth a late-round pick. He was the WR20 in fantasy points per game from Week 9 onwards last year after starting the season in the dog house. So, he has shown he can produce WR2 numbers despite a crowded pass-catching group. If Samuel or Kittle were to miss any time, his fantasy value would skyrocket.

Brandon Aiyuk Struggles During Offseason Workouts
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's performances during organized team activities and minicamp weren't what you'd expect from a former first-round pick entering his third year in the system. Instead of Aiyuk, it was Ray-Ray McCloud making play after play in practices with Deebo Samuel sitting out. Aiyuk and quarterback Trey Lance worked out in California in the offseason, but they weren't always on the same page during offseason practices open to the media. The 24-year-old was disappointing in his second season, especially early in 2021, and he finished with 56 catches for 826 yards and five touchdowns on 84 targets in 17 regular season games. Aiyuk should have a big role in his third season, but it'll come in a low-volume passing attack with a QB that likes to run.

Brandon Aiyuk Wants To "Maximize" Role
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is hoping to have the best season of his career. "Everyone has personal goals that they want. But I know that comes alongside with everything we want to do as a team. I'm trying to really maximize my spot, my role I have in this offense, and let it take it where it's at," said the 24-year-old during a recent interview. Throughout Aiyuk's two years in the league, he's compiled 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns off 116 catches. He also displayed his talent on the run, adding two more rushing scores during his rookie campaign. With Deebo Samuel potentially still on the move, Aiyuk has the potential to take over as the No. 1 wideout on the roster. Yet, even if Samuel remains in the Bay Area, he is looking to be cast exclusively as a wideout, meaning Aiyuk may get more chances to find the end zone under Kyle Shanahan's run-friendly offense.
