What happened: NFL Network reported that people close to Brandon Aiyuk are focused on his well-being rather than football. He remains on the reserve/left squad list and outside the 90-man roster entering camp.

Why it matters: Aiyuk has not played since Week 7 of 2024, leaving no recent production to support an elite ranking. Until he returns to an active roster and demonstrates current form, placing him among the top 25 rewards reputation over availability.
