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 HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) remains on track to make his 2024 debut against the Buccaneers in Week 10. "It depends on how this week goes,” Shanahan said. “He’s had no setbacks, so it looks like we’re on track.” McCaffrey will "hit it hard" in a simulated practice this week, per Shanahan. If that goes well, the 'Niners will open his practice window next Monday in preparation for the Bucs game. We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for McCaffrey. We'll continue to keep you updated on his progress.
Niners QB Brock Purdy scored a rushing TD for the second straight game in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys. The latest came on a 2-yard QB sneak in the third quarter and gives Purdy a new career high for rushing TDs in a season (3). But he has significantly boosted his ground production beyond that.
Niners RB Jordan Mason left in the first half of Sunday night's game after re-injuring his shoulder and did not return. RB Isaac Guerendo took advantage, rushing 14 times for 85 yards and a TD. The rookie also added 3 receptions for 17 yards among 4 targets.
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 RB Jordan Mason re-injured his shoulder in the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. He's back on the sidelines for the second half but hasn't yet hit the field. RB Isaac Guerendo is operating as San Francisco's lead back. The Niners have a Week 9 bye, and RB Christian McCaffrey is expected back for Week 10.

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 TE George Kittle (foot) is expected to play vs. the Cowboys tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kittle has finished as a top-10 PPR TE in all six of his games.
49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. Anders Carlson will kick again for San Francisco in that one and is a decent fantasy option with the Niners sporting a 25.5-point implied total.
