Deebo Samuel Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey totaled 19 touches and 107 yards in Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. He played over 80% of the snaps in his 2024 debut.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest that Samuel won’t be a full-go today.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) is expected to play vs. the Buccaneers today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Samuel was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. But, barring a report on his snaps being limited today, Samuel belongs locked into Week 10 fantasy lineups.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that Samuel won’t be ready for that one, but we’ll keep you updated on his status.

49ers WRs Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) and Jauan Jennings (hip) were limited in practice on Wednesday. That puts both guys on track to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend. An active Samuel is a must-start. We'll see how snaps and targets are divvied between Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Consider both guys WR4s with upside in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that WR Deebo Samuel is "day to day" with a rib injury and oblique strain. He gets a well-timed Week 9 bye, and it sounds like he should be ready come Week 10. Samuel racked up 86 total yards in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys and had a 66-yard TD called back by a penalty. Between these injuries and the Week 9 bye, there could still be a buy window open on Deebo, who looks like a top-10 fantasy WR going forward.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel missed the final eight minutes of Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys with a rib injury. HC Kyle Shanahan didn't have any update on Samuel after the game. We'll look for more information on the injury, but Samuel gets a Week 9 bye to rest up.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was hospitalized on Monday with fluid in his lungs but was able to get in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said this morning that Samuel is “good to go” for tonight’s game, so it sounds like he won’t be on a snap count.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) is expected to play vs. the Cowboys tonight, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Samuel was hospitalized with fluid in his lungs just six days ago but seemingly made quick progress throughout this week. We'll look for updates on San Francisco's plans for Samuel tonight. But, with RB Christian McCaffrey and WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings out, the 49ers could certainly use Samuel to take on big volume. See where he sits in the Week 8 WR Rankings.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that he hasn’t pushed Samuel too hard yet but that he’s gotten better each day. He seemingly has a shot to play against Dallas, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Week 8, which should mean a significant role for WR Ricky Pearsall regardless of Samuel’s status.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's seemingly making quick progress in his recovery from pneumonia and has a real chance to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. We'll update Samuel's status again tomorrow. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) remained sidelined on Thursday and isn't looking like a good bet to play against Dallas.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. He did do some individual conditioning drills, though, according to Bay Area News Group's Cam Inman. HC Kyle Shanahan said that Samuel is "doing better than you'd expect" and "has a chance" to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) also missed Wednesday's practice and remains iffy for the Dallas game. We'll update both guys again on Thursday.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel was released from the hospital on Tuesday, according to insider Matt Maiocco. Samuel was admitted on Sunday night with fluid in his lungs (aka pneumonia). HC Kyle Shanahan was unsure when asked Monday whether Samuel will be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll keep you updated on his status leading up to that one.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel is currently in the hospital with pneumonia, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Samuel tried playing in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs but made it through just four snaps. Shanahan said he's "not sure if we'll get (Samuel) back this week or not," per The Athletic's Matt Barrows. We'll track Samuel's status throughout the week. With WR Brandon Aiyuk done for the season and WR Jauan Jennings battling a hip injury, rookie WRs Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing could have sizeable roles in Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.

As your Week 7 fantasy score has already told you, 49ers WR Deebo Samuel barely saw the field in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs because of an illness. We learned about this just ahead of the game, but The Athletic's Matt Barrows reported at the time that Samuel was still expected to play. He technically did ... for 4 snaps.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel is dealing with an illness and didn't do much in pregame warmups. He's still expected to play vs. the Chiefs, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. Barring another report on his role today, Samuel should stay in fantasy lineups unless you have another strong option.
