Yes, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel are great. And yes, Aiyuk has scored more receiving touchdowns (8-6) than CMC and he Deebo combined, and has received over 15 yards (25-22). The offense has scored 33, 35, 21, 37, 37 and 38 points since the block his Purdy was pushed under center, and Ayuk has scored three goals against his fellow ballers as well as his teammates.
