Brandon Aiyuk's receiving yards total versus the LA Rams was listed at 77.5.
Aiyuk caught 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards in the 49ers’ Week 2 loss to the Vikings. He caught 2-of-5 targets for 28 yards in the 49ers’ Week 1 over the Jets.
NBC Sports writes of Aiyuk's performance last week:
Aiyuk took a backseat to George Kittle and Deebo Samuel on a day that saw Brock Purdy drop back 52 times — far more than normal for the 49ers offense. Aiyuk’s season has gotten off to a rough start. He has just six grabs for 71 yards through two games. He’ll look to get back on track in Week 3 against a weak Rams secondary.
Both teams come into this game suffering injuries to key players.
S Talanoa Hufanga is expected to return for the first time since tearing his ACL last November. … The Niners will be without Samuel (calf) and RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles’ tendinitis). The most recent time they played a game without both of those players was in Week 13 of the 2021 season. … Rams CB Cobie Durant continues to be bothered by a toe injury, though he was able to play through it against the Cardinals. … Dotson should be able to play again despite a lingering foot injury.
The line opened at 49ers -7.5 and had fallen to -6.5.
