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.

Outlook Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at Atlanta — High-Scoring Dome Environment Boosts WR3 Appeal
Odunze enters Week 6 healthy as Chicago's starting outside receiver. Starting quarterback Caleb Williams is questionable with a hamstring issue but practiced fully on Friday, which bodes well for the passing attack. Odunze has maintained steady involvement, earning 16 targets across his last two games.
Playing indoors in an anticipated shootout with an over/under of 51.5 points against the Falcons, Odunze possesses enticing upside. Our weekly projection expects around 4 catches for 61 yards on 7 targets (11.2 fantasy points). With fantasy managers starting him in 53% of leagues, he serves as a solid WR3 or Flex play.
