By Cole Hartwell

Deebo Samuel is not expected to practice Wednesday because of a hamstring injury, according to Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group.

What happened

Samuel (hamstring) is not expected to practice Wednesday, per Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group. No further details were provided about the session.

Context

Samuel has 60.4 PPR points in five games this season, with 20 targets, 16 receptions, 206 receiving yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns, playing 57% of snaps. In Week 4, he posted 18.0 PPR points with a touchdown, and in Week 3 he had 15.4 PPR points with 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. In Week 5, he recorded 2.5 PPR points with 2 receptions for 21 yards.

Sleeper currently tags Samuel as Out with a hamstring injury, though that tag can lag behind news reports.

Timeline

  • On October 16, 2026, a report noted that Samuel did not practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.
  • On October 20, 2026, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel is unlikely to return until after the Week 8 bye.

Depth chart

Mike Evans is the 49ers’ LWR1 according to Sleeper, with 89.0 PPR points in six games, 39 targets, 27 receptions, 420 receiving yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns. Jacob Cowing is RWR2 with 0.1 PPR points in six games. Brandin Cooks is SWR3 with 10.0 PPR points in three games. Jordan Watkins is RWR4 with 11.2 PPR points in four games. Demarcus Robinson is LWR5 with 19.4 PPR points in two games and is on IR with an ankle injury. Xavier Smith is listed sixth with 1 target in three games.

What’s next

The 49ers play the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 7 on Sunday, October 25.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Samuel likely out this week, fantasy managers should plan for another absence. Mike Evans remains the top target, while Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing could see more opportunities. Evans has 89.0 PPR points in six games, and Cooks has a Week 7 projection of 7.5 PPR points. Samuel should be held in most leagues given his production before the injury, but he won’t help your lineup until after the Week 8 bye.
