49ers WR Deebo Samuel dealing with hamstring issue

Oct 26, 2020

If Deebo Samuel (hamstring) can't play against the Seahawks, Kendrick Bourne likely would start opposite Brandon Aiyuk, and Dante Pettis likely would be in uniform for the first time in three weeks. The 49ers also have the option of elevating Kevin White or River Cracraft from the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened on a run play. Samuel was second among WRs in snaps behind Aiyuk and from what the article said, Bourne would step into Samuel's role if the injury keeps him out in Week 8.

Christian McCaffrey expected to play Sunday despite late add to injury report

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is expected to play Sunday against the Titans after he was late add Saturday to the injury report with a back injury.

Fantasy Impact:

McCaffrey is listed as questionable and while late adds can be a 50/50 ball, it’s sounding like McCaffrey will be available for the start of your playoff run this week against the Titans in what should be a good matchup for him. CMC remains our No. 1 player this week.

Turn back the clock: Philip Rivers elevated, will likely start Sunday

The Colts are elevated quarterback Philip Rivers to their active roster, paving the way for Rivers to make his first start in five years against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

This is really happening. 44-year old Rivers is back in the NFL. And because he was elevated to the active roster, he goes from being a Hall of Fame semifinalist to ineligible for another five years, until the Class of 2031. The Colts are desperate to save a season that has completely flipped, having lost four of five and having lost Daniel Jones for the season. Rivers and Brett Rypien are the two healthy quarterbacks on the roster with Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews good to go, WR Rashod Bateman Questionable for Week 15

Mark Andrew has not game status and is good to go. Rashod Bateman is questionable.

Related Players: Isaiah Likely, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals defense has been so poor against the tight end position, that both Andrews and Likely couldn't legitimately put up top-15 numbers in Week 15.

If Bateman ends up missing, Hopkins could be considered up closer to the WR4/5 range, but there should be better options out there.
