With both Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason out, Samuel was expcected to get more looks as a runner. Outside of an eight yard run, he was plugged up at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Jennings is shining in the Brandon Aiyuk role and was QB Brock Purdy’s top target leading the team with those eight targets.
The 49ers WRs start the fantasy playoffs with a neutral match-up against the Rams followed by a negative match-up against the Dolphins. For the fantasy championship, they face a neutral match-up against the Lions.
