Brandon Aiyuk has faced criticism for his slow start this season, particularly as he has not lived up to expectations after missing offseason practices and training camp. While Jauan Jennings had a standout performance against the Rams, Aiyuk’s lack of production has become a concern. With injuries affecting key players, Aiyuk needs to step up and contribute more significantly to the passing game to help the offense as the team navigates early-season struggles.
