49ers place WRs Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk on Reserve/COVID list

The 49ers placed wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on the Reserve/COVID list Wednesday evening. Both players have been ruled out for Thursday's game.

Fantasy Impact: 

The 49ers will be a severely depleted team on Thursday when they face off with the Packers. They will be starting a backup quarterback alongside backups at multiple skill positions and along the offensive line. Samuel was already set to miss Week 9, but his placement on the COVID list throws his Week 10 availability into doubt. Aiyuk was set to play a large role on Thursday, but will now miss the game entirely. It is a headache for the 49ers and anyone counting on their players for fantasy production this week.
