Deebo Samuel Sr.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Deebo Samuel (wrist/illness) is expected to play in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Samuel suited up last week while dealing with pneumonia but didn’t record an offensive stat while playing just four snaps. He was hospitalized after the game and missed Wednesday’s practice. Samuel returned for a pair of limited sessions before being listed as questionable. The 49ers could limit his reps versus the Cowboys, but, without Brandon Aiyuk, even a limited Samuel would be in line for plenty of touches. Fantasy managers can tentatively roll him out as a WR2 this week.
