Deebo was hurt during the SB. First half, iirc. First, he reinjured his shoulder, then his hamstring.
Which is the problem with keeping Deebo over Aiyuk; he's had a recent history of injuries.
But from a football perspective, I think I'd rather keep Deebo; he's more versatile. Shanahan can line up Deebo in the slot, out wide, in the backfield, even at the H and T. He's not the pure WR that Aiyuk is, but from a coach's perspective you can find more uses for him. Also, when you look at SF's statistical efficiency over the last few seasons, Deebo makes more of a difference than Aiyuk, iirc.
