Brandon Aiyuk fantasy outlook for Week 17: Should you pick the San Francisco 49ers WR? 

Brandon Aiyuk has had somewhat of an up-and-down period over the past few weeks. However, the receiver has been a mainstay in the San Francisco 49ers' offense this season.

As the team faces the struggling Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17, we expect Aiyuk to have more of a favorable matchup. Hence, we suggest that you pick Aiyuk in your fantasy team this weekend.

The Niners have already clinched their NFC West division and are on an eight-game win streak, sitting pretty at 11-4. This will allow San Francisco the opportunity to experiment on a few offensive plays before entering the postseason.

Niners quarterback Brock Purdy will also hope to develop a stronger bond with Aiyuk to use him frequently as an attacking weapon in the playoffs. All signs point towards Aiyuk having a strong game against the Raiders.

Brandon Aiyuk's stats and fantasy outlook for Week 17

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

Brandon Aiyuk has racked up 855 yards on 65 receptions and caught seven touchdowns through the air this season. He is averaging 8.8 yards per target but hasn't caught a touchdown in his last two games.

In total, Aiyuk has put up 126.2 fantasy points at 8.4 FPPG. While he has improved on his fantasy stats from last season, the 24-year-old will be looking to get into the endzone more often.

He has just one touchdown in his last five games for the Niners, but we expect him to hit some form before the playoffs. He managed 81 yards on just five receptions in Week 16.

If you opt against starting Aiyuk in Week 17, here are some alternate receivers that could potentially help you get big fantasy points:

• Justin Jefferson
• Tyreek Hill
• Ja'Marr Chase
• Stefon Diggs
• CeeDee Lamb
• Amon-Ra St. Brown
• A.J. Brown
• Keenan Allen
• Drake London
• Chris Godwin
• Davante Adams
