Deebo Samuel Sr. Could Benefit From Teammates' Injuries

Saturday, October 3, 12:21 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. made history in Week 3 with his 80-yard touchdown off a lateral from Mike Evans (ribs). Samuel finished that game without receiving a pass from quarterback Brock Purdy, which gave him the dubious honor of having the most receiving yards without a catch in an NFL game. Samuel wasn't even targeted in the game, but he should be more involved in Week 4 against the Broncos, with Mike Evans (ribs) a game-time decision and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) joining De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) and Christian Kirk (calf) on injured reserve. On paper, Samuel's matchup is not easy, but last week the Rams were able to exploit Denver's secondary to the tune of 390 passing yards. Samuel is projected as a WR3 in Week 4. His explosive play ability and potential for increased involvement in the 49ers' offense make him worth starting on Sunday.

Quentin Johnston News

Quentin Johnston Off Fantasy Radar in All Formats vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:31 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Quentin Johnston has seen his fantasy stock drop each week this season. Johnston hasn't taken advantage statistically of Ladd McConkey (foot) playing through injuries, while Tre Harris has shown flashes. However, the Chargers could be without McConkey on Sunday, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. McConkey missed one practice and logged two limited sessions during the week. Johnston enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR63 in a tough matchup. The Seahawks defense has allowed the fewest receiving yards, receiving yards per reception, receiving plays over 20-plus yards, and receiving yards over 40 yards. Johnston should be viewed as a WR5 at best and should be out of fantasy lineups in Week 4. If he doesn't improve his play, Johnston could be surpassed by Harris in the Chargers target pecking order.
