A.J. Brown said he is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) set to miss a couple of weeks
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. is slated to miss a couple of weeks with a calf strain he suffered on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The 49ers’ injuries are piling up, and Samuel, who saw 10 touches for 100 scrimmage yards in Week 2 and 13 for 77 in Week 1, is now in line to miss some time. Samuel split snaps out wide and in the backfield and is now dealing with a calf injury. Given his recent history recently with soft tissue injuries, the 49ers may proceed with caution and give him time to heal, setting the stage for RB Jordan Mason, WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle to lead the way in San Francisco. The Niners face the Rams and Patriots over their next two games.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) progressing in right direction
Tee Higgins (hamstring) continues to progress in the right direction in his rehab according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Fantasy Impact
Higgins has been sidelined for the first two weeks of the regular season, but according to Taylor the extra rehab time should benefit the wideout this week. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the pass-catchers status as the week continues.
