49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ankle, knee) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. It sounds like he'll be back in either Week 17 or 18. Samuel's absence elevates Jauan Jennings to the #2 WR role and frees up targets for RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he's been told WR Deebo Samuel (knee, ankle) is expected to be out "three-ish" weeks. Missing 3 weeks would put Samuel back for Week 18. The Score's Jordan Schultz reportedly on Monday that Samuel has a chance to return for Week 17. That seems to be the range we're looking at for Samuel's return, which means he might be back for the championship game for most fantasy leagues.
The Score's Jordan Schultz hears that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (knee, ankle) "could return as soon as Week 17." That makes Samuel worth hanging on to in plenty of fantasy leagues, although we wouldn't consider him a must stash. Samuel would carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he does make it back for what's the championship game in most leagues.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel suffered an MCL sprain and an ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Bucs, the team announced on Monday. Samuel is expected to return at some point in the regular season, but we'd prepare for him to miss multiple games. We'll hopefully get a more concrete timeline for Samuel's return before you need to decide whether to release him from fantasy rosters. Jauan Jennings will take over as San Francisco's #2 WR with Samuel out but is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy play at this point in the season. RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle are all candidates to pick up extra targets with Samuel out.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel "most likely" has a high-ankle sprain, HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's win over the Bucs. X-rays on Samuel's ankle came back clean, but a high-ankle sprain could cost him the rest of the fantasy season. We should learn more about Samuel's status on Monday.
The Score's Jordan Schultz hears that "early indications" are that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel's ankle injury is not serious. He "badly twisted his ankle, but the team is optimistic he’s okay," Schultz says. Samuel is still scheduled for additional testing. We should get another update on his status on Monday.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel injured his left leg in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. He tried to get off the field under his own power but eventually had to be carted to the locker room. We'll update Samuel's status when we know more.

Update: Samuel has been ruled out with what the team now says is an ankle injury.
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not have a Lisfranc injury and won't need surgery, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Garoppolo could be back in 7-8 weeks, "if rehab goes smoothly," Schefter adds. Seven weeks would put Garoppolo back on the field for the Divisional Round of the playoffs. We'll keep an eye on his progress. Garoppolo is still a guy to avoid in playoff fantasy contests, but this news helps the outlooks on San Francisco's skill-position players.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. Dealing with what HC Kyle Shanahan called a deep thigh bruise, Samuel got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. He reportedly made big improvements over the past 48 hours, though, and got the green light to play in this one. Samuel obviously carries more risk than usual in Week 13 fantasy lineups.

We'll look for further updates on Samuel but won't get San Francisco's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET. He'll obviously carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups.

The team expected Samuel to be in better shape by now, but he wasn't able to do much in Friday's practice, Shanahan said. Samuel seems truly iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins -- and it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100% if he does suit up.
