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.

Xavier Worthy vs. Chargers: Poised for Target Spike with Rice Sidelined
With primary wideout Rashee Rice ruled out due to injury, Worthy steps into an expanded role as Kansas City's leading outside receiver. Worthy has already demonstrated intriguing upside in this offense, commanding seven targets in two of his previous three games, highlighted by a 70-yard outing in his most recent appearance.
Our weekly projection tabs Worthy for roughly 10 fantasy points on nearly six targets, cementing him as a quality Flex starter. With undefeated Kansas City heavily favored at home against the winless Chargers, fantasy managers who have propelled his start rate up to 44% can bank on reliable volume and dynamic big-play upside.
