Deebo Samuel Sr. Sidelined Versus Washington — Targeting Return Following Week 8 Bye

Samuel is officially ruled out for Monday night's matchup against Washington after suffering a hamstring injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan considered placing him on injured reserve but held off due to the upcoming Week 8 bye, pointing toward Week 9 as his earliest realistic return date.

With our weekly projection set at 0 fantasy points, Samuel must be moved to your bench or IR slot this week. Prior to the injury, he provided plenty of explosiveness with 16 receptions and three touchdowns through five games. He remains a high-upside hold, so keep him stashed and check back often for updates on his rehab.
