Deebo Samuel Sr. Sidelined Against Washington with Hamstring Injury

Samuel has been officially ruled out for Monday night's matchup against Washington after suffering a hamstring strain in Seattle. Head coach Kyle Shanahan noted the team considered injured reserve, but opted against it with a Week 8 bye looming, pointing to Week 9 as his earliest realistic return.

Fantasy managers must keep Samuel benched this week, where our weekly projection marks him at zero points. While his start rate plummeted to 3%, he remains rostered in 90% of leagues after producing three total touchdowns across five games. Stash him securely and check back often for the latest updates on his recovery.

Terry McLaurin at San Francisco: Volatile Flex Option in High-Scoring Matchup

McLaurin is officially listed as questionable for Monday night against the 49ers as he continues to manage a lingering hamstring issue that limited his practice participation. Operating as Washington's top perimeter target alongside Stefon Diggs, fantasy managers should check back before kickoff for his final availability.

If active, the matchup features plenty of shootout potential with Washington projected into a pass-heavy, trailing script. Our weekly projection expects McLaurin to post around 3 receptions for 48 receiving yards and 11.4 fantasy points, making him a viable WR3 or Flex starter despite elevated re-injury concerns.
