3. 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be an intriguing option for the Giants offense as well. Based on what Aiyuk has done in his NFL career, he could prove to be the best option for this offense. Aiyuk has found success while playing in a loaded 49ers offense. Alongside players such as George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, Aiyuk has still managed to make his presence felt.

Over his three seasons, Aiyuk has consistently gotten better each year. During his rookie season, while taking the field in 12 games, he recorded 60 receptions for 748 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

In his second campaign, Aiyuk took the field in 17 games. He recorded 56 receptions for 826 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns. During the 2022 regular season, with the 49ers starting three different quarterbacks, Aiyuk once again proved to be reliable. He also put up the best numbers of his career so far.

Over 17 games, Aiyuk recorded 78 receptions for 1,015 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns while being targeted 114 times.

With the amount of star power that the 49ers have assembled, it may be difficult to pay everyone. Aiyuk could inevitably be the odd man out on the offensive side of the ball. This could lead to the Giants being the perfect trade partner.
