Deebo Samuel expected to play in Week 9

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is expected to play in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Like Elijah Mitchell, Samuel is in line to play, but the team doesn’t know how long he will last. Brandon Aiyuk, who had seven targets last week, and the returning George Kittle, should ease the blow if Samuel is knocked out of the game. Since Samuel is always one play away from a score, he can be started in fantasy with tempered expectations.
