Kyle Shanahan hopeful but 'not counting on' Deebo Samuel for Week 1

Aug 15, 2020

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is hopeful that WR Deebo Samuel (foot) could be available for Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals but added he “is not counting on it”.

Fantasy Impact:

Week 1 would be a pleasant surprise for the return of Samuel, who underwent foot surgery in June and was expected to miss 10-12 weeks, putting him on track to only miss about three or four games. A possible return date could the 49ers’ Sunday night date in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Samuel is being drafted around the 10th round, which could end up a major bargain for those that take the chance on him. In the meantime, rookie Brandon Aiyuk will see plenty of practice reps and the team signed veterans Tavon Austin and J.J. Nelson.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
