Deebo Samuel Sr. at Dallas — Practice Return Signals Potential Shootout Spark
Sidelined since mid-October with a hamstring strain, Samuel is on track to return to practice ahead of a road matchup with Dallas. He remains listed as questionable, but his return would provide an immediate boost to San Francisco's passing attack, particularly with Christian Kirk recently landing on injured reserve. Samuel is slated to reprise his starting slot duties alongside Mike Evans if cleared.
Facing Dallas in a matchup with clear shootout potential, Samuel brings intriguing upside, though our models currently hold his projection at zero fantasy points until his availability is finalized. With his start percentage down to 5%, fantasy managers should check back frequently for practice updates. If active, he projects as a volatile flex option who carries re-injury risk.

Outlook Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at Cincinnati — Flex Appeal in High-Scoring Divisional Clash
Bernard has carved out a regular role in Pittsburgh's passing attack alongside DK Metcalf, capitalizing on earlier injuries across the receiver room. He caught all five of his targets in his last outing and remains a reliable target for Aaron Rodgers on quick-hitting concepts.
In a projected high-scoring AFC North matchup against the Bengals, our projections see Bernard producing roughly four receptions for 37 yards (10.1 PPR points). With fantasy start rates dipping to 14%, he represents a modest-floor, matchup-dependent flex play who could outperform expectations if negative game script forces Pittsburgh to air it out.
