Week 7 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.
Deebo Samuel suffered a shoulder injury that has left him a non-participant during the week leading up to the 49ers’ game against the Vikings. So will Deebo Samuel play in Week 7? Here’s what we know.

Deebo Samuel (shoulder) non-participant Friday
Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was a non-participant in San Francisco’s practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
A shoulder injury has left Samuel sidelined at both practices that the 49ers have had this week. It seems to be more than a minor injury, and his practice status on Saturday will be very telling on whether or not he’ll be able to suit up this week. He might be a candidate to bench in fantasy leagues if he’s playing through injury, as we saw him do that earlier in the year and be nothing more than a decoy on the field. Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle will both get significantly more work if Samuel and/or Christian McCaffrey (oblique) are out against the Vikings on Monday night.

What the Experts Are Saying
After sustaining an injury last week, his status for Week 7 is up in the air. I’ll update his status hopefully by Saturday as we learn more. Samuel has not practiced this week (shoulder).
