Deebo Samuel Considered Day-To-Day With Rib Injury

Friday, September 22, 3:37 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs) escaped any major injuries as the team didn't find any fractures on Friday. His ribs are sore and he's being considered day-to-day which is very good news for the team and his fantasy managers alike. Samuel played a big part in the team's win over the Giants on Thursday night after he posted six catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. Managers will want to monitor his status, but the longer rest until their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals should do wonders.

George Pickens A Strong Option In Week 3

Friday, September 22, 5:31 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens scored as a top-12 fantasy wideout in Week 2 and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 3 bout with the Las Vegas Raiders. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Pickens should continue to be the favorite target of quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickens will have a great shot to repeat the success he found last week as Las Vegas has surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers so far this season. Even if he doesn't manage to find the end zone again on Sunday night, Pickens should see enough opportunities to post a solid performance as a fantasy WR2.
