Draft or pass: Which 49ers should be on your fantasy football team?

The San Francisco 49ers could become a real factor in fantasy football in 2020.

Pass: WR Brandon Aiyuk

There’s a case to be made for Aiyuk where he follows a similar arc to Samuel’s rookie season and becomes a real fantasy factor late in the year. A truncated offseason will make Aiyuk’s transition to the NFL even more difficult though which may put him further behind the curve going into the regular season. There’ll be touches for an athlete as explosive as Aiyuk, but it may take too long for him to carve out a legitimate role in the offense to justify using a draft pick on him. It’s worth monitoring his production and snap counts throughout the season though because there’s a world where he has some pretty big games in Shanahan’s offense.

ADP: 214 overall (WR 63)
