Fantasy football owners are going to be targeting sleeper and breakout-candidate wide receivers in 2021 including the 49ers’ own, Brandon Aiyuk.

Any experienced fantasy football general manager knows a league championship isn’t won in Rounds 1 or 2 of a fantasy draft, rather it’s won in the middle and late rounds. Or even by those midseason waiver-wire additions of grabbing a player who seemingly came out of nowhere.

Perhaps no other position is as volatile in fantasy than wide receiver.
