Deebo Samuel Sr. Cleared To Face The Chiefs
2 months agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist) was removed from Friday's final Week 7 injury report and will play on Sunday in a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs at Levi's Stadium. Samuel suffered a minor wrist injury in last Thursday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks and was able to shed his non-contact jersey for Friday's practice, clearing the way for him to play this weekend. With Jauan Jennings (hip) missing his first game of the year, the 28-year-old Samuel should have a safer fantasy floor. In the Super Bowl loss to KC, Samuel had only three receptions on 11 targets for 33 yards while carrying the ball three times for eight yards. He should have a bigger impact on this Sunday's game, and fantasy managers should treat him as a must-start, high-end WR2 as the Niners look to give the Chiefs their first loss of 2024.
