Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) return this season is in question, according to general manager John Lynch. When asked if Aiyuk's return was realistic, Lynch said: 'Realistic? I'm not sure - hopeful.'
| Footballguys view: Head coach Kyle Shanahan recently confirmed a report that the team has voided the remaining guaranteed money on Aiyuk's deal. The wideout had a guaranteed salary of $26.15 million for the 2026 season, but did not challenge the team's decision. Per a report from The Athletic, Aiyuk, who has not played since Week 7 of last season due to a serious knee injury, "failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities in recent months." We'll continue to watch for more, but 2025 fantasy investments in Aiyuk aren't likely to yield any return. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall caught two passes for 14 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. He was targeted three times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall is too far down the pecking order for targets to matter in fantasy leagues on a windy day against a good Browns defense. He's not worth carrying through the bye if there's someone compelling available on the waiver wire. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for 26 yards on eight carries against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed for 53 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. He also caught four passes for 21 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: This is what a floor game for McCaffrey looks like this season. He has stayed healthy under a heavy workload and will get to rest during his Week 14 bye. A lot of McCaffrey fantasy teams are going to get first round byes, or at least make the fantasy playoffs to reward the risk taken in the first round of drafts. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy went 16-for-29 for 168 yards and one touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. He also rushed for four yards and one touchdown on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Purdy wasn't expected to do much on a windy day against the Browns defense. He was safe with the ball, which was the most important task after he threw three interceptions last week vs. Carolina. Purdy will go into a his bye a matchup QB1 with the Titans, Colts, and Bears up in the fantasy playoffs. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Purdy played arguably the worst game of his career last week, in just his fourth game of the year and his first time stringing together back-to-back starts. He delivered solid fantasy production in his first three games, but after last week's performance, he's better left on benches in Week 13. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: After missing six weeks with a knee injury, Pearsall has now played in back-to-back games. However, he's totaled just six yards on three catches in those appearances. Based on what we saw early in the year, Pearsall can't be dropped, but he'll need a significant bump in usage before he can even be considered for starting lineups. |
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey gets a massive workload on gameday and regular rest days throughout the week. There's no reason to expect anything less than him getting his normal RB1 share of carries and targets. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is not 100 percent, but he's set to play against the Browns in Week 13. That's a ferocious defense, and having a toe injury could limit Purdy's mobility. He's a low-end QB2, which means Purdy will be on a lot of benches on Sunday. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey is just getting some rest as the team prepares to play the Browns. Even in a tough matchup, McCaffrey is a must-start RB1 for Fantasy GMs. |
