Aiyuk Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 1 performance, the NFL announced on Wednesday.

Aiyuk caught all eight of his targets for 129 yards and two touchdowns in San Francisco's blowout win over the Steelers. The fourth-year pro out of Arizona State set a career high in receiving yards in the game and matched his personal single-game best in touchdown receptions.

Aiyuk seems to think the 49ers can continue to excel on offense in Week 2 and beyond, particularly because of Purdy.

"He plays with an extreme poise, but also poise and urgency," Aiyuk said, via 49ers Web Zone. "It's like a mix of poise and urgency. He's never too lagged. He's just always on point. He's on point. He's ready to go. He plays with that swag that just bleeds all the way down to the rest of the offense, down to the rest of the team, that everybody can build off. Like I said, he has 'it.'"

Rams Wide Receivers Shine Without Kupp

The Rams placed All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve ahead of Week 1.

So it came as a bit of a surprise when the Rams passing game tore apart Seattle's secondary. Stafford threw for 334 yards on the day. Most of his passes were caught by largely unknown players. Third-year pro Tutu Atwell caught six passes for 119 yards, while rookie fifth-round pick Puka Nacua accounted for another 119 yards on 10 catches.

Atwell had never reached 100 receiving yards through his first two NFL seasons. And Nacua's first game was certainly a productive one. Kupp will be out until at least Week 5. In the meantime, Stafford seems to have found a few new favorite targets.

"Did a great job," Stafford said postgame. "It's what I've been seeing in practice, and those guys gotta take a lot of confidence from going out there in practice and making plays like that. And, again, there's a few I want back with both of those guys that could've been an even better day."
