Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Saturday, August 1, 5:10 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. will play all over the field in 2026, according to general manager John Lynch. When asked about Samuel's role for 2026, Lynch said, "You're going to see him in the return game, you're going to see him some at receiver, you're going to see him some at running back. We're going to use him all over the field, and we're really excited to have Deebo back." Samuel signed a one-year, $7 million deal to return to San Francisco, where he spent the first six seasons of his career, totaling nearly 6,000 scrimmage yards and 42 touchdowns in 81 games with the team. With young receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) done for the season after electing to undergo surgery to repair his PCL, Samuel steps into a potential WR2 role behind Mike Evans. While Samuel is now 30 years old and has been trending downward in his career, he can still be a factor in fantasy and should be rostered in most fantasy formats.

KC Concepcion News
Tuesday, August 4, 9:43 AM
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion (shoulder) was seen in pads before the start of Tuesday's training camp practice, suggesting he's ready to return after suffering what was deemed a minor right-shoulder injury on Monday, according to Dan Labbe of Clevelanddot.com. The 21-year-old 24th overall selection from Texas A&M and fellow wideout Denzel Boston could both push veteran Jerry Jeudy for targets in Cleveland's offense in 2026. Concepcion should be a lock to start in three-receiver sets in his first year in the NFL, but the question is whether the Browns have a capable quarterback who can get the young wideout the ball regularly. The 6-foot, 196-pound burner produced for both the Aggies and at North Carolina State and will be a late-round sleeper worth considering for WR depth in upcoming fantasy football drafts. RotoBaller has Concepcion ranked as the No. 48 fantasy WR as he heads into his first season in the NFL.
