If Aiyuk lands with the Commanders and is healthy, he could be a significant discount target in fantasy drafts; analyst suggests if priced at $6 in auction or similar discount to pre-crash valuation, he's worth a gamble, though odds of a 1,000+ yard rebound are estimated at only 15%.PositiveProjectionJun 26, 2026
Despite George Kittle reporting Aiyuk was hitting 22 mph and stopping on a dime in workouts a year ago, his 2024 season was a disaster: 370 yards and zero touchdowns in seven games before tearing his knee; he's 28 years old and hasn't played football in a long time, creating uncertainty about his ability to return to form after signing a 30 million per year deal following a 1,300-yard, 7-TD breakout year in 2023.NegativeRoleJun 26, 2026
Aiyuk injured his knee, decided not to do his rehab, and has been in the doghouse with the 49ers for months; the team voided his remaining guaranteed money in summer 2025 because he wasn't participating in rehab; John Lynch stated 'It is safe to say he will never play for us ever again,' indicating a complete breakdown in the relationship and his removal from the team.
