Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel or James Cook

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (ribs) was forced to exit early during Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. He departed in the fourth quarter with pain in his ribs. It's worth noting that Samuel spent time in the hospital with pneumonia prior to Sunday's game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan says the team is considering Samuel as day-to-day right now. The good news is that the 49ers are on a bye this week. That means, Samuel will have plenty of time to rest ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation throughout the week.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 17 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught three passes for 22 yards. It was an all-around tremendous effort from Cook, who ran with great vision and agility and plowed through defenders. His scores came in the second half as the Bills played with a lead. Cook has a stranglehold on the Buffalo backfield, despite Ray Davis' emergence in Week 6. Cook will be an RB1 next week against Miami. He scored three touchdowns against the Dolphins in Week 2.
