Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Wednesday, November 11, 12:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) said on Wednesday that he feels ready to go versus the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, according to Matt Lively of CBS Sports. Samuel has not played since the Week 5 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks due to a right-hamstring injury, but he returned to a limited practice on Wednesday and is trending in the right direction to play this weekend. Meanwhile, Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) continues to miss practice and is not expected to play in Week 10. The 30-year-old Samuel will likely need to put in a full practice on Thursday or Friday to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend. San Francisco's WR dynamic will be different if Samuel is back this weekend after the team acquired veteran Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline, and Samuel could be on a limited snap count if he is active in Dallas, which will make him a risky WR4/flex in fantasy if he is given the green light to play. In five games before his hamstring injury, Samuel had a modest 16 receptions on 20 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns while adding nine carries for 78 yards on the ground.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Tuesday, November 10, 2:12 PM
The Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions about a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs, and Tennessee Titans receiver Calvin Ridley, sources told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Thomas and Ridley were not traded at Tuesday's NFL deadline, while Downs was sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas was a popular name leading up to the deadline, but the Jaguars never seemed all that interested in trading the former first-rounder despite him falling out of favor in the passing game in 2026 in his third year in the league. Instead of sending the 24-year-old pass-catcher away, the Jaguars sent plenty of draft capital to the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints on Monday for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, defensive back Jessie Bates III, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, respectively. Fantasy managers still holding Thomas would have preferred he be traded out of town after catching only 10 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in the first eight games of 2026. In the last four games, Thomas has put up three donuts for fantasy managers and has caught just one pass on seven targets for 12 yards. Thomas is impossible to trust in starting fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.
