Deebo Samuel Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is "very much in doubt" for Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Would not be surprised at all if he missed the game," Rapoport adds. McLaurin is still seeking additional opinions on his injury, including from core-muscle expect Dr. William Meyers. "As of now, they believe it's a quad injury. But more tests coming," Rapoport says. We'll look for further details on McLaurin's injury, but he seems unlikely at this point to be ready by Sunday.

Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, HC Dan Quinn said Friday. It's been trending this way most of the week, with Washington erring on the side of caution with QB Jayden Daniels' knee injury. Daniels did return to a limited practice on Friday, which should have him on track to return for Week 4. But it'll be Mariota under center on Sunday, making him an intriguing fantasy spot starter.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) won't practice until Friday at the earliest, HC Dan Quinn said. Quinn added that Daniels had a good rehab session with his knee on Wednesday. But as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says, "Another sign that Marcus Mariota could very well be starting" vs. the Raiders this weekend.

The Commanders believe RB Austin Ekeler tore his right Achilles in Thursday night's loss to the Packers, according to multiple reports. That's what it looked like when he went down late in the fourth quarter of a game that was already decided. Ekeler is undergoing additional testing on Friday to confirm the diagnosis. It'd be a season-ending injury and could threaten Ekeler's career. He's 30 and set to hit free agency this offseason. What's his absence mean for Washington's backfield going forward? Let's dig in.

The 49ers have agreed to trade WR Deebo Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round pick, according to multiple reports.

ESPN reports that the 49ers have granted WR Deebo Samuel permission to seek a trade. It's reportedly the second time in three seasons that Samuel has made such a request. Samuel has one year remaining on his contract, with a $15.8 million cap hit, according to Spotrac. A $15.4 million option bonus that would pay out March 22 appears to set a deadline for a deal to happen.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, wrist) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. Although he's had a disappointing season, Samuel has averaged 5.0 targets and 3.0 carries over the last five games. So his absence leaves extra opportunity for WRs Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall and RB Isaac Guerendo.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, wrist) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He could be held out of this weekend's meaningless finale vs. the Cardinals. That'd be a boost for WRs Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. We'll see how Samuel is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel broke out of a slump with 7 catches, 96 yards, and 1 score in Week 16. That snapped a seven-game scoreless streak.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is "unlikely to play" Sunday at Miami because of his hamstring injury.

The 49ers clearly made it a point to get WR Deebo Samuel going in Thursday night's loss to the Rams. It didn't work. Samuel turned seven targets into three catches and 16 yards. His two carries went for just three yards. Samuel was bottled up after the catch and had a brutal drop on a crossing route in the third quarter that could have gone for a 29-yard TD. He also had a false-start penalty.
