Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Saturday, September 19, 5:38 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was a significant part of the offense during the season opener. Samuel hauled in six of his seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 30-year-old could be asked to play a larger role in the passing attack now with De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) landing on the Injured Reserve. Samuel will have less competition for targets as he heads into a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Running back Kaelon Black (groin) is questionable to play on Sunday, which could mean that Samuel could get some carries as well. Fantasy managers should feel safe plugging in Samuel as a WR3 for Week 2.

Cam Skattebo News
Saturday, September 19, 6:44 PM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo looked strong in his return from his serious ankle injury suffered in 2025 and hopes to build on that against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 1, Skattebo had 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in the 28-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The second-year back played 63% of snaps, handled all the short-yardage snaps, and had 12 more carries than the next-closest back, Devin Singletary. Unfortunately, he lacked the receiving role he had in 2025, when he caught 24 passes in eight games. Skattebo had no targets in Week 1 and played only two snaps on obvious passing downs, while Singletary played 11 snaps. He faces a Rams defense that allowed the fifth-most rushing yards (174) and the second-highest yards per carry (5.8) in the NFL in Week 1. Skattebo remains a solid option in Week 2, but his receiving role will be the key situation to monitor on Monday night.
