Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel or Chris Olave

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) will not practice Wednesday after suffering a calf strain in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Despite the injury, Samuel had a solid Week 2 performance, recording eight catches for 110 yards. While reports suggest Samuel could miss multiple weeks, no official word has been given, and the team has yet to place him on injured reserve. All signs point to Samuel missing the Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, with his status listed as doubtful. In his absence, fantasy managers can consider 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings as a potential streaming option for Week 3.

New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave had a promising Week 2 performance after a disappointing Week 1 showing. Olave was targeted six times, securing four receptions for 81 yards. His 37.5% target share was the most exciting part of the showing, as he saw just two targets in last week's win. Olave connected with quarterback Derek Carr on a 39-yard reception early in the game as the offense got rolling. Game script hasn't favored the passing game with the Saints winning in two blowouts so far, so Olave should only see better days ahead.
