Deebo Samuel Out "A Couple Of Weeks" With Calf Injury
49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss "a couple of weeks" with a calf injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Kyle Shanahan said.
Brandon Aiyuk OUT vs. Giants
The 49ers have downgraded WR Brandon Aiyuk to out for tonight's game against the Giants because of his shoulder injury. That should make Jauan Jennings the No. 2 WR for the upside matchup. Aiyuk (14) and Deebo Samuel (16) have accounted for 88.2% of WR targets for San Francisco through two weeks, with Jennings claiming the only other four. Jennings posted three games of 4+ receptions last year, though none came with Brock Purdy behind center. Jennings makes for a nice play in Thursday night DFS showdowns. He's too much of a longshot for most season-long redraft formats, though. Seventh-round rookie Ronnie Bell has been the No. 4 WR in playing time so far and matched Jennings in snaps in Week 2. He has yet to see a target, though.
