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.

Kayshon Boutte News
Friday, September 11, 6:01 PM
Houston Texans wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is ready to play his first game for the Texans after joining them via trade from the New England Patriots this preseason. With Jayden Higgins (knee) out for the year, Boutte could emerge as the team's second option behind Nico Collins. Since he hasn't played with QB C.J. Stroud very long, though, it's hard to know exactly what his role will be in Week 1 against the Bills. Last year for the Patriots, Boutte was a home-run threat who was a boom-or-bust play on his way to 551 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He could be in a similar role for the Texans, which makes him a high-risk play in Week 1, when he's ranked as the No. 58 WR in RotoBaller's rankings.
