Cutting bait on Aiyuk; off-field concerns override top-100 upside.

Brandon AiyukWRSF

JJ Zachariason has many Brandon Aiyuk teams in best ball but is cutting bait on him. If Aiyuk had his head on straight off the field, he could be a top-100 player going in the 200s; if everything was fine and he went to Washington, he'd probably be drafted around round seven after the Jaguars guys and Brian Thomas Jr., before Cortland Sutton-type players. However, the off-field concerns and year away from football create negative market sentiment that Zachariason is no longer willing to fight against.
