Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers failed to reach a long-term deal before the 2026 draft, with both sides maintaining their negotiating positions on a multi-year extension. The receiver is heading into a contract year on his rookie deal with no resolution in sight. San Francisco's draft class did little to address deep threats, leaving Aiyuk as a centerpiece of the passing attack heading into 2026.
Fantasy Impact: NEUTRAL
Aiyuk remains a strong dynasty hold given his talent and target share, but contract uncertainty could create trade value opportunities pre-draft in 2027. Monitor the situation closely in dynasty leagues—if a trade materializes mid-season, his ADP could shift significantly.
