De’Zhaun Stribling projected to open season as primary slot receiver

Matt Barrows

Sep 03 · 4:41 PM EDT

Barrows believes San Francisco’s plan is for Stribling to serve as its primary slot receiver while also backing up Mike Evans at the X position.

Christian Kirk will begin the season on injured reserve with a calf injury, while Ricky Pearsall has already been ruled out for the year. Stribling is expected to be available for Week 1 after missing the preseason finale with a minor shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

A primary slot role would provide Stribling with a cleaner path to immediate targets than San Francisco’s crowded receiver depth chart initially suggested. Samuel’s presence still creates uncertainty regarding personnel packages and manufactured touches, but Stribling appears positioned to play meaningful snaps immediately.

49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling shines in preseason opener

San Francisco Chronicle

Aug 14 · 2:09 PM EDT

De’Zhaun Stribling caught seven of eight targets for 63 yards against Tennessee, including three receptions on third down. The rookie said he began clicking with the offense once he settled into the game.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Christian Kirk, Jacob Cowing

Fantasy Impact:

Stribling’s volume was particularly encouraging after he had already generated positive reports throughout camp. San Francisco has several established receivers ahead of him, but it would be an understatement to say that they are on the "aging" side of things, so strengthening an immediate rotational role makes him an increasingly interesting late-round target.

WR Deebo Samuel returns to the 49ers

With concern about the status of receiver Ricky Pearsall's injured right knee, the San Francisco 49ers are turning to a familiar face, bringing back wideout Deebo Samuel to the place where he began his career. Sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Thursday night that the 49ers and Samuel reached agreement on a one-year deal that could be worth up to $7 million.

Fantasy Impact:

With Kirk (calf) also on the sideline throughout training camp, this signing quickly quelches the flames of the Stribling buzz we've seen over the last couple of days.

If you were looking for the perfect landing spot for a Deebo Samuel bounce-back after a mediocre one-year stint with the Commanders, this is the one. With 49ers injuries at the running back position as well as the WR room, Samuel could add a handful of rushes into the mix as well. That doesn't make him a WR2 all of a sudden, but he's still an intriguing dart throw, depending on where his ADP ends up after this signing.

There is "some concern" regarding 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall's knee

Nick Wagoner

Jul 29 · 1:26 PM EDT

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is dealing with knee swelling related to the PCL injury he suffered last year. Team says “all options” are being explored and there is some concern.

Fantasy Impact:

Pearsall has flashed when healthy and on the field, but that hasn't been a very common occurrence through his young career. Kirk is also dealing with a calf strain at the moment, so we could see some upward momentum for rookie De'Zhaun Stribing before camp is over. He's currently off the redraft fantasy radar, but we should keep an eye on some extra snaps for him over the next month.
