Aiyuk's 2023 tape is still the reason this grade cannot fall too far. He was a 1,342-yard All-Pro-caliber receiver who separated with sharp releases, pacing and fearless work over the middle. But he has not produced since the major 2024 knee injury and is currently on reserve/left squad, so nobody can pretend his old form or role is guaranteed. On talent he has been a nine; as a current 2026 proposition, the uncertainty brings him down to six.
Strengths: At his best, Aiyuk is a detailed route runner with excellent footwork, late separation and strong hands through contact. He attacks intermediate windows, blocks with real effort and can create explosive plays without relying solely on schemed space.
Weaknesses: Health and status overwhelm the evaluation right now: he has no production since the 2024 knee injury and is on reserve/left squad. Even before that injury, his volume could fluctuate in a crowded offense, and a full athletic recovery remains unproven.
