Deebo Samuel injury update: Unlikely to return until after Week 8 bye (hamstring)

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is unlikely to return until after the Week 8 bye.

By Cole Hartwell

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is unlikely to return until after the Week 8 bye, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Samuel has a hamstring injury.

Context

Samuel has 60.4 PPR points through five games, with 20 targets, 16 receptions, 206 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. He has scored 12.1 PPR points per game. In Week 5, he had 2.5 PPR points on three targets, two receptions and 21 receiving yards. He played 43% of snaps in that game.

Timeline

On October 16, a report noted that Samuel did not practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

Depth chart

Mike Evans is listed as LWR1 on the depth chart. Evans has 76.6 PPR points this season, with 34 targets, 24 receptions, 326 receiving yards and three touchdowns in five games. He is listed as questionable with a ribs injury by Sleeper. Jacob Cowing has 0.1 PPR points this season. Brandin Cooks has 7.7 PPR points in two games.

What’s next

The 49ers play the Washington Commanders at home in Week 6 on Monday, October 19.

Shanahan: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) unlikely to return until after the Week 8 bye.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Samuel is likely out until after the Week 8 bye, so fantasy managers should plan to be without him for at least two more games. Mike Evans is the top replacement option with 76.6 PPR points and 15.3 points per game, though his rib injury clouds his availability. Jacob Cowing and Brandin Cooks could see more snaps, but neither has produced meaningful fantasy numbers this season.

Quick answers

Will Deebo Samuel play in Week 6?

Kyle Shanahan said Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is unlikely to return until after the Week 8 bye, so he is not expected to play in Week 6.
