Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, September 14, 6:32 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. should be a priority waiver wire target now that he's firmly solidified as the team's No. 2 wideout. Second-round rookie De'Zhaun Stribling suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 and will now be sidelined for a month, leaving Samuel as an undisputed starter alongside Mike Evans. We saw the veteran produce after Stribling went down last week, finishing the season opener with six catches for 48 receiving yards and a touchdown. Samuel has never been a huge yardage threat, but he handles high volume well and is capable of scoring touchdowns. With Stribling out until mid-October, Samuel has an amazing opportunity to handle more volume and cement himself as a high-end WR3 in fantasy football. His pattern of fantasy success should continue in Week 2, when the Niners face off against a pitiful Dolphins squad.

Jakobi Meyers News
Sunday, September 13, 1:34 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers scored a touchdown in a 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was one of four pass catchers to find the end zone from a Trevor Lawrence pass. Meyers was outshined by Parker Washington, but it's good to see he was involved in what will be a crowded receiver room for the Jaguars. He had just two targets, but made the most of them with a 32-yard touchdown. Meyers is known for not catching many touchdowns, so it's nice to see him catch one in the first game of the season. The veteran receiver may be relied on more in a tough Week 2 matchup with the Denver Broncos.
