49ers WR Deebo Samuel, RB Jeff Wilson Jr. to miss extended time

Oct 26, 2020

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel and running back Jeff Wilson Jr., both of whom played major roles in Sunday's 33-6 win against the New England Patriots, are expected to miss extended time, according to coach Kyle Shanahan.

Related players: Kendrick Bourne, Jerick McKinnon, JaMycal Hasty

Fantasy Impact:

Samuel is dealing with a left hamstring strain and will "most likely" miss this week's game at the Seattle Seahawks and next week's home contest against the Green Bay Packers, according to Shanahan. Wilson is the latest 49er to suffer a high left ankle sprain and is expected to go on injured reserve this week, which means he will have to miss at least the next three games, the story said. As we reported just a bit ago, Bourne looks like he'll take over for Samuel while McKinnon could jump back into a bigger role at RB. The 49ers said they purposely cut back on McKinnon's workload this past week (surprise fantasy owners) but it should mean he gets a bigger role this week. However, the rookie Hasty has looked good and could take some of the workload at RB.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
