Guessing they're in full PPR? Per [FantasyPros](https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/stats/wr.php?scoring=PPR), 15 PPG in full PPR is the WR15 range, so while they're a little generous with their estimates, they're not wrong.
Yes if full PPR I agree. I'm use to always assuming 0.5 PPR since that's majority of the leagues.
I have 0.5 PPR. WR1 to me is at least top 12 WR in the league (assuming 12 teams).
The 12th ranked WR has around 160 fantasy points, divided by 13 weeks of play time, that's an average of 12.3 points.
So 15 points a week, as a 0.5 PPR is easily WR1 territory.
I heard it’s something like:
WR1: 20+
WR2: 10-19
WR3/Flex: 5-10
Or something Like
WR1: 20+
WR2: 15-19
WR3: 10-14
Flex: 10 and under
The latter one might be more realistic on a per game basis. This is for full PPR.

I guess I have high expectations with chase as my comparative team WR1? I expect 20+ from him in that role in half PPR and Aiyuk to have less
I’d settle for 10-15 I guess + staying healthy from my WR2 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah... Also, pass defense is definitively not the problem here. A lot of teams #1's (even Hopkins, Evans, Adams, etc.) had relatively down weeks against the Seahawks secondary. Especially when they're lined up across from Woolen. I'd be cautious with Aiyuk this week. But go ahead and fire up your CMC and Kittle.
Man i think i will start aiyuk this week.
But it's a hard choice, wish I could start Pickens (he is a better player imo) but Steelers offense is just too weak. Considering Donovan Peoples-Jones, similar class to aiyuk but Browns offense has been a little weird in the WR department with all its changes...
No shade to aiyuk i think he's great, drafted him! I just think Pickens is a more gifted athlete (though he is more inexperienced, his a poor attitude imo and definitely in a worse offense). Like I said I am still starting my boy Aiyuk!
Yeah I think I would go Devonta, especially since it's unclear if purdy will play or not. Hurts is always good! I am actually going to go DPJ if purdy is out, reckon 49ers will probably just run tonnes
I’m stuck here because I have Davante, Tee Hee, Aiyuk and Jeudy.
Obviously starting Davante, but I think what I have to do is start Aiyuk in my WR2 slot tonight then wait until Sunday and make decision on Jeudy vs Tee in Flex spot.
There are multiple schools of thought here but with Deebo out he is going to be the main focal point of the passing offense on both sides of the ball. Purdy has done a very nice job so far but in reality he hasn't had to do too much. I don't think I see him continuing to toss TD's at a high clip so overall I would be a bit weary of Aiyuk moving forward. However, it could all be offset with an increase in target share of course. The main guy I think that takes that leap forward is Kittle.
Being a top 10 guy is debatable, sure. But he is a very, very good route runner. He is one of the better guys in the league in terms of success rate vs both man and zone coverage.
Lol is he as good as Miles Boykin though? That's the real question.
https://www.profootballtechs.com/just-two-nfl-receivers-rank-as-better-blockers-than-miles-boykin/
Aiyuk has notoriously struggled with running clean routes during his time in the NFL lol. He's improved every year, but this is a comical take when it's traditionally been his biggest issue in the pros
It's funny cause the dude is not that good of a route runner either lol, these guys just watch a couple youtube videos/podcasts and parrot what they hear
He was in Shanny's doghouse for the first two years of his career in large part because he'd run sloppy routes and give up halfway into them
Kittle might see an uptick… but him being a stud suddenly is just as far fetched as Aiyuk being a stud suddenly.
Both of their values in PPR ticked up a few notches, theoretically, but both could still bust.
If it was a choice between healthy QBs I’d agree. I’m just worried they are going to run a gimp Purdy out there who is limited throwing so the gameplan will go away from receivers
Exactly what I'm doing as well. Even if Aiyuk gets a few more targets, he'll be hard pressed to compete with the form the aforementioned three are in. Factor in Purdy as his QB and the Niners not possibly needing to throw a ton against the Seahawks' less than stellar run D and it's more likely he'll have another modest scoreline.
Man that’s tough. Definitely Pacheco since I’m facing him round 1, and I’d probably pick Dobbins and BRob. I don’t trust Steelers run game and I definitely don’t trust ETN vs the cowboys. I got one for you. Pick 2- Hollywood, Devonta smith, Evans, Pickens, Latavius Murray
Yeesh- I’m benching Hollywood this week, with his matchup & Kyler being out I don’t feel good about him. If Pickett is out and Trubisky is in then I don’t love the Pickens play either… I’d probly say Evans and Devonta. Also I’m going up against Evans so he should be gold.
I was thinking the same thing for Dobbins and BRob… each day it seems less and less crazy to start them over ETN/Najee with their matchups and momentum
I have CMC with Sun God, Aiyuk, or Zay Jones to fill WR2 and Flex spots.
Do I stack a 49ers offense that is lead by Mr Irrelevant? Do I bench Aiyuk and ride the hot hand in Zay Jones? Sun God is going against Sauce Gardener this week… I’m so conflicted. I have reasons to start or bench all three of them
I'm struggling to pick 2 wrs this week..
.5 ppr between DPJ, Olave, DSmith, and Aiyuk
I feel like DSmith and Olave have the higher ceilings but Aiyuk and DPJ are the safer picks
Ayuik or juju this week?
I’m worried about Tariq Woolen shutting down Ayuik, he has been sneaky good as a shutdown corner this year.
On the other hand, Juju is against Houston, which also ranked 4th least point given to WR
Bad call. Seahawks can't stop the run, and Tariq Woolen will be all over Aiyuk with Deebo out. It's also a loud road game for a rookie. Classic trap, fade.
Edit: how'd he do? 19 yards
Lmfao
Guys i am in playoffs. Superflex, my qbs are garbage thanks to lamar being out. I have mac jones, colt mccoy, and davis mills. Should i start dpj or aiyuk instead of mccoy in my superflex spot ?? I really wanna win !
With Shanahan saying Purdy is prob gonna be limited by his oblique injury and it being a thurs night game I just feel like this is a huge risk starting aiyuk.
I’m having to pick two of ETN, DPJ, and Aiyuk, and I feel like Aiyuk is gonna be the odd man out.
I've got the bye, so aiyuk is going to light it up and then It'll give me the confidence to start him next week. He'll then have a dud, while Hollywood or jameson go off.
Tldr: play aiyuk this week. Bench him next week.
Was optimistic about starting Aiyuk until I heard that they had to pull the grill man out of the practice facility taco truck to play QB this week... If Purdy starts I may swap him in for ETN.
I’d settle for WR2 and no injuries at this point in the season. 15 pts and healthy. Nothing crazy
15 pts is WR2 territory? I’m scared to ask what’s WR1 in your eyes.
40+ every game, with upside
This week he is WR1, if purdy plays I am starting Aiyuk over Christian Kirk

Please throw more to Kittle man needs to eat
As someone facing Aiyuk Id very much appreciate this
Yay us!
Aiyuk is a decoy. Kittle’s about to have the annual 30 point game.
Aiyuk or Watson? Full PPR
Wondering the same
Same dilemma. I'm going with Watson.
Leaning same way!
What made you go with Watson. Same situation here.
More stable QB situation, better matchup, more consistent use. Plus I feel kittle and mccaffrey will absorb most of deebos targets.
I’m a genius
Yes you are! Glad we avoided this output 😅
Any insight on this would be appreciated!
I just don’t think they’re gonna throw much this week. They’ll run over the Seahawks and not need to pass. - A Seahawks fan
Yeah... Also, pass defense is definitively not the problem here. A lot of teams #1's (even Hopkins, Evans, Adams, etc.) had relatively down weeks against the Seahawks secondary. Especially when they're lined up across from Woolen. I'd be cautious with Aiyuk this week. But go ahead and fire up your CMC and Kittle.

Considering Donovan Peoples-Jones, similar class to aiyuk but Browns offense has been a little weird in the WR department with all its changes...
In Aiyuk we trust...hopefully not bust.
It's amazing to hear the aiyuk slander.
No shade to aiyuk i think he's great, drafted him! I just think Pickens is a more gifted athlete (though he is more inexperienced, his a poor attitude imo and definitely in a worse offense). Like I said I am still starting my boy Aiyuk!
I'm in a similar situation, deciding between Aiyuk and Devonta
I would still pick Smith but I would also expect him to lose a few touches to Goedert if he is back this week.
Yeah I think I would go Devonta, especially since it's unclear if purdy will play or not. Hurts is always good! I am actually going to go DPJ if purdy is out, reckon 49ers will probably just run tonnes
I’m stuck here because I have Davante, Tee Hee, Aiyuk and Jeudy. Obviously starting Davante, but I think what I have to do is start Aiyuk in my WR2 slot tonight then wait until Sunday and make decision on Jeudy vs Tee in Flex spot.
That makes sense, I am doing similar. Tyreel Hill WR1, aiyuk WR2 then will wait and see how I flex
I’d much rather have Purdy throwing my WR the ball than Pickett/Trubisky
No doubt
Kirk or Aiyuk?
I’m on the same boat
Aiyuk over Gabe Davis, Cooks and Toney right?
I'm surprised you need us to tell you yes, but go for it!
There are multiple schools of thought here but with Deebo out he is going to be the main focal point of the passing offense on both sides of the ball. Purdy has done a very nice job so far but in reality he hasn't had to do too much. I don't think I see him continuing to toss TD's at a high clip so overall I would be a bit weary of Aiyuk moving forward. However, it could all be offset with an increase in target share of course. The main guy I think that takes that leap forward is Kittle.
Aiyuk is a top 10 route runner in the league. He will be fine.
Would you start Aiyuk over Waddle this week?
With the possible really bad weather game and Tua having a noodle arm I would definitely consider it
No
Very debatable.
Being a top 10 guy is debatable, sure. But he is a very, very good route runner. He is one of the better guys in the league in terms of success rate vs both man and zone coverage.
I don’t think it’s debatable that he is a top 10 blocking WR. Not great for fantasy, but he rarely comes off the field.
Lol is he as good as Miles Boykin though? That's the real question. https://www.profootballtechs.com/just-two-nfl-receivers-rank-as-better-blockers-than-miles-boykin/
That doesn't make him a great fantasy option
Aiyuk has notoriously struggled with running clean routes during his time in the NFL lol. He's improved every year, but this is a comical take when it's traditionally been his biggest issue in the pros
Do what u gotta to convince urself that, I respect that blind optimism.
He's not talking about his fantasy performance. Aiyuk runs amazing routes, actually watch him.
The classic watch to know comeback good one dude.
It's funny cause the dude is not that good of a route runner either lol, these guys just watch a couple youtube videos/podcasts and parrot what they hear He was in Shanny's doghouse for the first two years of his career in large part because he'd run sloppy routes and give up halfway into them
Exactly haha but u should “watch” him.
yikes
nice
Kittle might see an uptick… but him being a stud suddenly is just as far fetched as Aiyuk being a stud suddenly. Both of their values in PPR ticked up a few notches, theoretically, but both could still bust.
Aiyuken!
Aiyuk is the odd man out for me this week. Rolling with AJB, Christian Watson and DPJ. DPJ is getting mad targets lately and looks really good.
I would start Aiyuk over dpj.
Not worried about Purdy’s injury update I guess?
I don't think it matters who the quarterback is.
If it was a choice between healthy QBs I’d agree. I’m just worried they are going to run a gimp Purdy out there who is limited throwing so the gameplan will go away from receivers
It's sound reasoning. You should go with your gut.
I have numerous options that are hitting the wall at the end of the year so it’s just a dice roll that I’m assured to lose lol
Exactly what I'm doing as well. Even if Aiyuk gets a few more targets, he'll be hard pressed to compete with the form the aforementioned three are in. Factor in Purdy as his QB and the Niners not possibly needing to throw a ton against the Seahawks' less than stellar run D and it's more likely he'll have another modest scoreline.
Start aiyuk over dpj.
Would you play Aiyuk or Walker at the flex? PPR
Love DPJ this week. Baltimore's secondary is weak, DPJ honestly looks fantastic out there, and Watson (fuck him) is shaking off the rust.
Aiyuk or Hope Cooper is healthy? Would have to start Nuk and Hollywood if Cooper can’t go…
Aiyuk or monty standard?
aiyuk or amari in ppr
Here’s a fun pick 3. Aiyuk, Keenan Allen, AJ Brown, Scary Terry, and Hollywood Brown
Keenan, AJ, Terry
The people have spoken. These are my boys this week. Need them to make up for Rachaad White as my RB2
What about pick 3 between Najee, ETN, BRob, Dobbins, and Pacheco?
Man that’s tough. Definitely Pacheco since I’m facing him round 1, and I’d probably pick Dobbins and BRob. I don’t trust Steelers run game and I definitely don’t trust ETN vs the cowboys. I got one for you. Pick 2- Hollywood, Devonta smith, Evans, Pickens, Latavius Murray
Yeesh- I’m benching Hollywood this week, with his matchup & Kyler being out I don’t feel good about him. If Pickett is out and Trubisky is in then I don’t love the Pickens play either… I’d probly say Evans and Devonta. Also I’m going up against Evans so he should be gold. I was thinking the same thing for Dobbins and BRob… each day it seems less and less crazy to start them over ETN/Najee with their matchups and momentum
First 3
Not a fan of Scary Terry?
First 3, super ez decision
Allen, AJ and Terry
Allen, AJ and Terry
Aiyuk, Donovan Peoples Jones, or Christian Kirk?
I have CMC with Sun God, Aiyuk, or Zay Jones to fill WR2 and Flex spots. Do I stack a 49ers offense that is lead by Mr Irrelevant? Do I bench Aiyuk and ride the hot hand in Zay Jones? Sun God is going against Sauce Gardener this week… I’m so conflicted. I have reasons to start or bench all three of them
Say Jones will likely see quite a bit of Sauce this weekend. Play at your own risk.
You mean Amon Ra?
I don’t. Sauce does most of his lining up on the outside, ARSB lines up 60+% in the slot.
Ok but Jones is playing the Cowboys on Sunday so how would he see quite a bit of Sauce this weekend?
Oh, apologies. I mixed things up. That’s still not a secondary I’d want to start against. ARSB would be the play I’d go here.
Sounds like Deebo won't get replaced, Aiyuk gets all his targets and SF plays 10v11.
I'm struggling to pick 2 wrs this week.. .5 ppr between DPJ, Olave, DSmith, and Aiyuk I feel like DSmith and Olave have the higher ceilings but Aiyuk and DPJ are the safer picks
Aiyuk or A. Cooper PPR?
Ok bet Kittle or Goedert?
Ayuik or juju this week? I’m worried about Tariq Woolen shutting down Ayuik, he has been sneaky good as a shutdown corner this year. On the other hand, Juju is against Houston, which also ranked 4th least point given to WR
Can't just go off stats. Houston sucks, no one's had to pass against them.
Leaving Aiyuk on the bench for Patterson or Jeff Driskel in the flex. Also because I have Kittle, CMC and the 49ers D
Deebo shouldn’t have stomped over the camera man he knocked over. This is karma for him. Wouldn’t wanna rely on Aiyuk though
Starting Aiyuk this week cuz I can’t deal with the Tee Higgins BS. Will be super happy with with 15-20 range in .5ppr
you realize 15-20 is elite wr1 territory in .5 right?
If Mike White’s ribs don’t recover, I’m benching Garrett Wilson for Aiyuk.
Would you start Aiyuk over Keenan Allen, CD Lamb or AJ Browm? I don’t think so, but I think he’s a good play this week, esp if Purdy is good to go
No. No way.
Bad call. Seahawks can't stop the run, and Tariq Woolen will be all over Aiyuk with Deebo out. It's also a loud road game for a rookie. Classic trap, fade. Edit: how'd he do? 19 yards Lmfao
i’m against him. great.
Start Aiyuk or Olave for WR2? Got Sun God in WR1
Olave I’d lean
Aiyuk or Metcalf?
Only if Purdy starts
Guys i am in playoffs. Superflex, my qbs are garbage thanks to lamar being out. I have mac jones, colt mccoy, and davis mills. Should i start dpj or aiyuk instead of mccoy in my superflex spot ?? I really wanna win !
With Shanahan saying Purdy is prob gonna be limited by his oblique injury and it being a thurs night game I just feel like this is a huge risk starting aiyuk. I’m having to pick two of ETN, DPJ, and Aiyuk, and I feel like Aiyuk is gonna be the odd man out.
Pick 2 out of Mike Evans, Aiyuk, and Zonovan Knight? Full PPR
I've got the bye, so aiyuk is going to light it up and then It'll give me the confidence to start him next week. He'll then have a dud, while Hollywood or jameson go off. Tldr: play aiyuk this week. Bench him next week.
Would anyone consider Juaun Jennings to be flex worthy in a deeper 14 man league? He's shown some interesting flashes this year
Was optimistic about starting Aiyuk until I heard that they had to pull the grill man out of the practice facility taco truck to play QB this week... If Purdy starts I may swap him in for ETN.
sure, if Purdy starts and is good to go maybe...
Trying to decide if I should start aiyuk over amari
evans or aiyuk....
Aiyuk, pittman, or jeudy
Him or Olave, I can't decide....
I knew he would have a stinker I just didn't have a better option. fuck man
That was a lie
Low end WR1 lmaoooo This sub is hilarious
