Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Sunday, October 11, 3:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to John Dickinson. Samuel looked to be in bad shape when he gingerly limped across the field during the third quarter. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of this game, and we'll see if he's able to suit up against the Washington Commanders next week. He'll finish his day, hauling in two receptions for 21 yards, while rushing the ball twice for an additional four yards on the ground. Mike Evans, Jacob Cowing, and George Kittle will be the primary pass-catchers for the rest of this game.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Thursday, October 8, 5:22 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and racked up 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, but he has fallen into a smaller role in coach Liam Coen's offense for the last two seasons and has become a drop candidate in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Thomas has only totaled nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown through the first four games of the season, playing well behind WRs Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers and ranking fourth on the team in targets behind TE Brenton Strange as well. Thomas only had three targets in the last two weeks combined, and his reduced role makes him hard to trust unless there is an injury or he is traded to a new team with more targets available. He still has the skills to give him upside and is on the field, but he's not getting enough targets right now to be an option you have to hold on to in standard-sized leagues.
