Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) put in a limited practice on Thursday. It was his first practice since going down near the end of Week 2's loss to the Vikings. Samuel seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. We'll see how he's listed on Friday's final injury report.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said last week that he expected Samuel to miss "a couple of weeks," so he's unlikely to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. We'll let you know if his Week 4 outlook changes.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams, as expected. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Samuel is expected to miss a couple of games. His absence leaves WR Jauan Jennings as San Francisco's No. 2 WR. He's in play as a WR4 for fantasy owners in a bind this week.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss "a couple of weeks" with a calf injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Kyle Shanahan said.
Niners WR Brandon Aiyuk caught just four balls for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. His 5 targets tied for third on the team, trailing WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle. But Aiyuk saw increased playing time in his second game back from the hold-in.
Niners RB Christian McCaffrey is inactive for tonight's game against the Jets. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that McCaffrey tested his injured calf today and that "it didn't feel right and the 49ers wanted to err on the side of caution." That's been the message from McCaffrey and the team ever since the injury first showed up back in early August. That he's now missing a game more than a month later suggests the issue has always been more significant than they wanted us to believe.
The Steelers and 49ers have a deal on a potential trade and a new contract is in a good place for Aiyuk, the 49ers just need to sign off to get the deal done.The 49ers appear to be waiting on their contract offer to Aiyuk in hopes he will accept.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is officially off of the Active/NFI list. He appears recovered from his hamstring injury and is participating in training camp.
49ers GM John Lynch and HC Kyle Shanahan talked about WR Ricky Pearsall as a guy they believe can contribute right away. “(Pearsall) just plays the position real well, whether he was outside, inside, all three positions,” Shanahan said in his post-draft press conference. “He can separate down the field, he can separate underneath, extremely good hands. … There’s nothing he can’t do." It sure sounds like the Pearsall pick was made with the expectation that WR Brandon Aiyuk or WR Deebo Samuel will be traded. Insider Michael Silver tweeted late Thursday night that he's heard Samuel is more likely to be traded at this point. Shipping away either guy would be excellent news for Pearsall's dynasty value -- and turn him into an interesting 2024 redraft pick.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is not listed on the final injury report for the NFC Championship. Samuel will play against the Lions on Sunday -- and it looks like he'll be ready for his usual role. We'll look for further updates on his status, but we're boosting Samuel in this week's rankings.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday. Samuel is dealing with a "bad and painful" bruise, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, but "has a chance" to play in Sunday's NFC Championship game vs. the Lions. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report on Friday afternoon.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Shanahan added that Samuel still has pain in that shoulder but "feels better." Shanahan wouldn't say whether he expects Samuel to be available to Sunday's NFC Championship game vs. the Lions. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
