49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Likely not full workload Week 1
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday he'd be "surprised" if Aiyuk saw a full workload in the season opener Monday against the Jets, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
That's about as direct of coach-speak as you can ask for, and it makes some sense given Aiyuk missed the majority of August practices before ending his hold-in with a four-year, $120 million extension signed 10 days ago. The difficult part to decipher is how much of a workload Aiyuk will receive if it's not the "full" amount. It's more complicating considering Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Given that the contest is against the vaunted Jets defense and that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, who himself just signed a recent extension, only recently returned from his holdout, it might be prudent for managers to avoid using Aiyuk if there are other viable options.
