Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, November 9, 3:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the hope is to have wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) at practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Samuel has not played since the Week 5 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, but if he returns to practice this week, he should have a good opportunity to return on Sunday in a Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, fellow veteran receiver Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) does not look ready to return to the field and is trending towards missing a third straight game with multiple injuries. If the 30-year-old Samuel returns and Evans is out again against Dallas, Samuel could return with a bang against a shaky Cowboys secondary. Samuel does not have the kind of upside he had earlier in his career, but San Francisco's banged-up WR corps in 2026 has provided him with additional opportunities. In five games played in his eighth year in the league, Samuel has 16 receptions on 20 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns and has added nine carries for 78 yards on the ground. We will keep a close eye on the Week 10 statuses of both Samuel and Evans later this week.

Puka Nacua News
Monday, November 9, 1:10 PM
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay had previously ruled out a trade-deadline move or adding a new receiver but said on Monday that the Rams will "explore all avenues" as they try to figure out how to move forward after Puka Nacua's (knee, toe) injuries, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Nacua is likely to land on Injured Reserve, which will require him to miss at least four games, after spraining his MCL/PCL and suffering a turf-toe injury in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders. Veteran Davante Adams (hamstring) is also out for the foreseeable future, so the Rams are now without their two star pass-catchers as they head into a Week 10 matchup against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. If the Rams cannot swing a trade for a receiver by Tuesday's Nov. 10 deadline, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington would be their top three receivers. Regardless of whether the Rams swing a trade for a new WR, tight ends Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson will also become much more valuable streaming options at TE in fantasy going forward with both Nacua and Adams sidelined.
