Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Wednesday, October 21, 12:28 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Samuel Sr. suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5 that sidelined him in San Francisco's Week 6 win over the Washington Commanders on Monday night. The initial diagnosis for the 30-year-old was a multi-week absence, so Samuel Sr. may be unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons as well. Across five games before getting injured, the veteran wideout collected 16 catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns on 20 targets and nine carries for 78 yards. The 49ers may also be without WR1 Mike Evans (Achilles) in Week 7, which would leave the team very shorthanded at wide receiver. If Samuel Sr. remains sidelined, San Francisco wideouts Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins, and Jacob Cowing are all candidates for larger workloads.

Drake London News
Saturday, October 17, 8:02 AM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has averaged nine targets, seven catches, and 136 yards receiving over the past three games with Michael Penix Jr. under center, although he is yet to find the end zone in 2026. This week, the 6-foot-4 wideout will go up against a Bears pass defense that has limited teams to just under 180 passing yards per game, which is the third-lowest total in the entire league. While that suggests it could be a tough matchup for the former USC standout, the Bears will be without LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring), DE Dayo Odeyingbo (quadriceps), and DE Montez Sweat (suspended) this week, leaving the pass rush shorthanded and potentially making getting open less daunting a task. Either way, as Atlanta's clearcut No. 1 receiver, expect the 25-year-old to be targeted early and often in Week 6, setting him up as a mid-range WR1, and this might just be the week he finally finds paydirt.
