3 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers have officially ruled out wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) from their Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Samuel didn't officially practice at all this week but was working on side fields with trainers, and the Niners and fantasy managers are hoping that the 25-year-old will only have to miss this one game. Samuel has been excellent in 2021, ranking as the WR2 in fantasy behind only Cooper Kupp. He's recorded 56 catches for 1,006 yards and five touchdowns on five targets while also seeing 25 carries for 203 yards and five more touchdowns. Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle should be quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's top targets with Samuel sidelined, while Jauan Jennings and Trent Sherfield should also have elevated roles in the passing attack on Sunday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
