Davante Adams News
Thursday, September 10, 9:37 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught three of his six targets for 26 receiving yards during Thursday's Week 1 loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. The Rams' pass-catchers had a really frustrating outing in the season opener, and Adams was no exception. His 5.6 PPR points represent a massive decline from his average of 15.9 PPR points per game last season. Fantasy managers will hope that this game from Adams was an anomaly and can simply be chalked up to the nature of playing a game in Australia after arriving less than 24 hours earlier. Adams and his teammates will have plenty of time to return home and reacclimate to the conditions in the United States before returning to action in 11 days for a Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He still ranks as a low-end fantasy WR2 for that game, but his floor is admittedly lower than before.

Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Thursday, September 10, 11:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was productive in his first game back with the team in their season opener against the Rams despite his limited role. Samuel entered the game from the bench and finished with six catches for 48 yards and one touchdown on seven targets. The versatile veteran also handled one carry for 12 rushing yards and two kickoffs for 74 return yards. Samuel ranked third in snap share among the 49ers' wide receivers behind Mike Evans and Demarcus Robinson, and likely would have finished behind De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) had the rookie not exited the game due to an injury in the second quarter. The vague receiver roles and frequent rotations make it hard to predict how and when Samuel will be used, but if Stribling misses time, he should see greater involvement. Samuel might be a flex play in Week 2, when the 49ers face off against the Miami Dolphins.
