Brandon Aiyuk had a breakout performance in Week 5, catching 8 of 12 targets for 147 yards in a narrow victory over the Arizona Cardinals. This marked a significant improvement for Aiyuk, who had struggled in the previous weeks due to a contract dispute and injuries to other key players on his team. With George Kittle and Deebo Samuel sidelined, Aiyuk is expected to see a substantial increase in target volume moving forward.
- Aiyuk's performance indicates he is back on track after a slow start to the season.
